I do not know if it is realy what  you need, but programm bellow
writes some data to one  file descriptor in the child and  read them
from another file descriptor in the parent. May be this will be helpfull
for you  somehow.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>

void  main(void) {
int fds[2];
int pid,res;
char buf[512];
FILE *f;

memset(buf,0,sizeof buf);

if (pipe(fds)<0) return;

switch (pid=fork()) {
  case 0:  //Here the child
       close(fds[0]);
           f=popen("ls /usr/","r");
       if (f==NULL) return;
       while(fgets(buf,sizeof(buf)-1,f)!=NULL) {
        write(fds[1],buf,strlen(buf)+1);
       }
       pclose(f);
       close(fds[1]);
       puts("Child finished");
       return;
  case -1: return;

}

// Parent now
close(fds[1]);
while(waitpid(pid,NULL,WNOHANG)<=0) {
  if (read(fds[0],buf,sizeof(buf)-1)>0)
   printf("Got from child:%s",buf);
}
puts("Parent finished");
return;
}
