Quick description:
I know all about pipe() and popen() but I want a fpipe().
AND I can't figure out how to do it!!!
More detailed:
pipe() returns those int file descriptors so I can't
use fprintf(). (sprintf() followed by write() is clumbsy!)
popen() returns type FILE so I can use fprintf() but
it calls sh so an extra process is used.
What I want is an fpipe() that does exactly the same as pipe
but returns type FILE. Possible ?
Please e-mail me as well as posting.
