Broken pipe
$write error: Broken pipe
Analysis
A process tried to write data to a pipe, but the process on the receiving end had already closed it.
Common Triggers
- ●Piping output to
head(which closes early) without handling SIGPIPE. - ●Network connection closed while sending data.
Debug Checks
- $Check the pipeline logic.
Resolution
1
Ignore SIGPIPE in the application if acceptable.
2
Ensure the receiving process reads all data.
