Here's another option (I am not totally sure it is a 'proper' way)- use the number of bytes read by the read function. In this example I was reading from stdin although a redirection was made so the fd in 0 is a file/pipe/whatever you need it to be.

  while ((nbytes=read(STDIN_FILENO, buffer, MAX_PIPE_SIZE)) > 0) {
    write(STDOUT_FILENO, buffer, nbytes);
  }
