Jonathon, Please don't use SIGPIPE. That's just a hack from the 1970s to make simple command line programs die when their input goes away. Instead, please call signal(SIGPIPE, SIG_IGN) right inside of main(). Thereafter, Unix APIs like read(), write(), etc will return -1 and errno will be equal to EPIPE.
