Hi, perhaps following can help u out
getrlimit() & setrlimit()
these functions are used to get & set the upper limits of kernel resources.

Hi,
You have to recompile the kernel.
The constant PIPE_SIZE establishes the number of bytes allocated for a pipe (the size of the pipe buffer; in fact, the size of pipe buffer is PAGE_SIZE). The constant PIPE_BUF (limits.h) defines the atomic operational limit (atomic writes to a pipe).
