c execvp grep环境变量，当grep没有找到任何东西时

Question

我正在尝试构建一个研究环境变量的小型 C 程序。 当我使用参数运行程序时，它应该模仿

printenv | grep parameterlist | sort | less

所以我使用管道连接所有这些输出，但现在的问题是当我输入一个不存在的环境变量时，程序仍然会运行所有内容，理想情况下我希望它在 grep 之后退出。

这是我使用 execvp 和 perror 执行 grep 的代码，但只有当 execvp 不起作用时才会出现 perror。

I know from the man pages that grep gives 0 when one or more lines selected and 1 when No lines where selected and >1 when an error occurred.当 grep 未选择任何行并退出程序而不继续进行 sort 和 less 时，我该如何处理？

    execvp( "grep", argv);  /* runs grep */
    perror( "Cannot exec grep" ); exit( 1 );

if(pid == 0) 
{   
    if(-1 == dup2(pipa[READ],STDIN_FILENO)) /* redirect pipe1 to stdin */
    {perror("Cannot dup"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE);}

    if(-1 == dup2(pipa2[WRITE],STDOUT_FILENO)) /* redirect stdout to pipe2 */
    {perror("Cannot dup"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE);}

    if(-1 == close(pipa[WRITE])) /* Close write, we dont need it */
    {perror("Cannot close pipe (write-end)[GREP]"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE);}

    if(-1 == close(pipa[READ])) /* Close read on pipe1 */
    {perror("Cannot close pipe (read-end)[GREP]"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE);}

    if(-1 == close(pipa2[READ])) /* Close read on pipe2, we dont need it */
    {perror("Cannot close pipe2 (read-end)[GREP]"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE);}

    if(-1 == close(pipa2[WRITE])) /* Close write on pipe2, we we have it on stdout now */
    {perror("Cannot close pipe2 (read-end)[GREP]"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE);}

    if(argc > 1) /* filter or no */
    {
        argv[0] = "grep";
        printf("%s",argv[0]);

        execvp( "grep", argv);  /* runs grep */
        perror( "Cannot exec grep" ); exit( 1 );
    }
    exit(0);
}

}

for(i=0; envp[i] != 0; i++)
{
    write(pipa[WRITE],envp[i],strlen(envp[i]));

如果 execvp 失败，将调用 _exit。

execvp 的手册页:

返回值 如果任何 exec() 系列函数返回，就会发生错误。返回值为-1，全局变量errno将被设置以指示错误。
