[lug] p2open()? Yet another C++ question

[Riggs, Rob]

There is a Python module called popen2.py (it should be in
/usr/lib/Python1.5) that does it in Python using Unix primitives, such as
pipe(), dup(), fork(), exec(), etc. You should easily be able to translate
that into C/C++ fairly quickly.

Or, hey, you could just write your code in Python instead. ;-)

Hello,

On solaris and irix there is a p2open function that returns FILE
pointers
to both the input and output streams of a forked process.  This utility
function doesn't seem to exist with gcc in linux.  popen is only one
way.
Any pointers on how to link to both stdin and stdout of a child process?

Thanks

Scott
