C++ Binary Stream File Splitter -- 2

I have tried to split the output of a named pipe (mkfifo) using the "tee" command in linux with no luck. I suspect that the file input that I am directing to tee is in a binary format since a named pipe works but when tee is introduced into the pipe, it breaks. I have successfully streamed from the source to fifo pipe and captured the output to the listening application that is listening to the fifo pipe. (This is for a raspberry pi. ) I am looking for a simple C++ program that is able to take 2 command arguments (for the output named pipes) and feed a piped input into this C++ program and have the stream split and output to both named pipes in the directory. Example: This does not work but the concept is the same. {command to initiate binary stream} | tee fifo1 | tee fifo2 Desired program: {command to initiate binary stream} | C++Program argument1 argument2 This part is very important. The program will need to have input piped from raspivid to the program then expect 2 arguments. The arguments will be two named pipes to send the binary stream to. The data stream needs to be duplicated to both named pipes (not half to one pipe and half to other,duplicate stream) raspberrypi# raspivid | cprog argument1 argument2 Basically this would be a tee script but pass binary into both named pipes. Something like this with the ability to split the incoming stream: // writing on a text file #include <iostream> #include <fstream> using namespace std; int main () { ofstream myfile ("[login to view URL]"); if (myfile.is_open()) { myfile << "This is a line.\n"; myfile << "This is another line.\n"; [login to view URL](); } else cout << "Unable to open file"; return 0; } Also, a little help to get this compiled and working on the command line.
