标准管道(popen)

NAME       popen, pclose - pipe stream to or from a PRocessSYNOPSIS       #include <stdio.h>       FILE *popen(const char *command, const char *type);       int pclose(FILE *stream);DESCRIPTION       The popen() function opens a process by creating a pipe,  forking,  and       invoking  the shell.  Since a pipe is by definition unidirectional, the       type argument may specify  only  reading  or  writing,  not  both;  the       resulting stream is correspondingly read-only or write-only.       The  command argument is a pointer to a null-terminated string contain-       ing a shell command line.  This command is passed to /bin/sh using  the       -c  flag;  interpretation, if any, is performed by the shell. RETURN VALUE       The popen() function returns NULL if the fork(2) or pipe(2) calls fail,       or if it cannot allocate memory.       The pclose() function returns -1 if wait4(2) returns an error, or  some       other error is detected.

popen.c，如下：

被调用函数reverse.c，如下：

/*************************************************************************    > File Name: reverse.c    > Author: KrisChou    > Mail:zhoujx0219@163.com     > Created Time: Sat 23 Aug 2014 11:21:27 AM CST ************************************************************************/#include <stdio.h>#include <stdlib.h>#include <string.h>int main(int argc, char *argv[]){    char Word[256]; //从标准输入读取字符串    char buf[256][256],index = 0; //保存从标准输入读取的字符串    while(memset(word,0,256), scanf("%s",word) != EOF )    {        strcpy(buf[index++],word);    }    index--;    while(index >=0 )    {        printf("%s ",buf[index]);        index--;    }    printf("/n");    return 0;}

运行程序:

[purple@localhost popen]$ gcc popen.c -o main[purple@localhost popen]$ gcc reverse.c -o reverse[purple@localhost popen]$ ./main ./reversehow are youyou are howbaby u r beautifulbeautiful r u baby[purple@localhost popen]$

按 ctrl+D 退出popen.c中的循环，从而退出程序。

被调用函数reverse.c，如下：

运行程序:

[purple@localhost popen_write]$ ./main ./reversehow are youyou are howhello worldworld hello

按 ctrl+D 退出程序。

1. 在主调程序中，若popen以读模式打开，说明主调函数需要从管道获取程序运行结果，因而重定向了被调函数的标准输出。此时，popen时，主调函数需要将运行被调函数的完整参数写入放进命令行。被调函数运行后会将运行结果送入管道，主调程序自行从管道取出运行结果，打印在屏幕上。

2. 在主调程序中，若popen以写模式打开，说明主调函数需要将被调函数的运行所需的参数送人管道，因而重定向了被调函数的标注输入。此时，popen时，主调函数只需将被调函数的path写入命令行即可。被调函数会从管道中取走自己的参数，运行结果由被调函数打印在屏幕上。
