[Pipe][C] How to use pipe with pthread

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <pthread.h>

int fd[2];//File descriptor for creating a pipe

//This function continously reads fd[0] for any input data byte
//If available, prints
void *reader()
{
    while(1){
       char    ch;
       int     result;

       result = read (fd[0],&ch,1);
       if (result != 1) {
            perror("read");
            exit(3);
    }    printf ("Reader: %c\n", ch);  }
}

//This function continously writes Capital Alphabet into fd[1]
//Waits if no more space is available
void *writer_ABC()
{
     int     result;
     char    ch='A';

     while(1){
           result = write (fd[1], &ch,1);
           if (result != 1){
