The following program is designed to echo a message from one child process to another, with upper and lowercase letter reversed. The program reliably outputs just the message "h" and then quits. Explain in a very clearly why this is the output. Suggest how the program could be corrected to produce the expected output. #include

char message[] = "Hello, world!\n";

char buffer[100];

if (pipe(fd1) == -1)

{ return 1;
