I've done something similar to this. Although it depends on the parent program and what you are trying to pipe.

I use POSIX to handle my child process and am able to utilize all the functionality of the parent. However if you're trying to have the child communicate back to the parent - then things get difficult. Do you have an example of the main program and what you're trying to PIPE?
