  • There is a problem here. I think it is related to awk. Since writing into FIFO up to size of PIPE_BUF defined in limits.h must be atomic. Commented Apr 17, 2019 at 14:31
  • @snr and what happens when PIPE_BUF % len(sentence) != 0? Commented Apr 17, 2019 at 14:42
  • could you elucidate what you try to take to mean by saying PIPE_BUF % len(sentence) != 0 ?? Commented Apr 17, 2019 at 14:52
  • I mean a whole number of sentences don't fit in a buffer of size PIPE_BUF Commented Apr 17, 2019 at 15:06
  • At that case, the one you show as output is possible. But in your example you don't fill the size. Do you? Commented Apr 17, 2019 at 15:09
