I don't know what you mean when you say "I don't want to try to write
anything to each of these pipes". The only way SIGPIPE gets generated is
when you write on a pipe with no one to read it. Since you get SIGPIPE, you
must already be writing something to that pipe yourself. (Unless you forked 
off a process, gave it a pipe and the process wrote on the pipe with no one to 
read it. In that case you'd have no control over the write()ing).

Here, you can simply ignore SIGPIPE by signal(SIGPIPE, SIG_IGN), and on each 
write() check to see if errno == EPIPE. If so, then there was no reader on the 
pipe you just wrote to.
