I'm trying to figure out why calling popen() from within a dll/so returns a file handle but appears to neither execute the commands or return any results via calls to fgets() This is all code that has run on various *nix platforms, so hopefully there is just something simple I missed in digging through google , groups , cygwin ,/usr/shared/docs and the like. Any clues appreciated, TIA -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
