_popen, _wpopen

Creates a pipe and executes a command.

FILE *_popen(
   const char *command,
   const char *mode 
);
FILE *_wpopen(
   const wchar_t *command,
   const wchar_t *mode 
);

Parameters

  • command
    Command to be executed.

  • mode
    Mode of the returned stream.

Return Value

Returns a stream associated with one end of the created pipe. The other end of the pipe is associated with the spawned command's standard input or standard output. The functions return NULL on an error. If the error is an invalid parameter, such as if command or mode is a null pointer, or mode is not a valid mode, errno is set to EINVAL. See the Remarks section for valid modes.

For information about these and other error codes, see _doserrno, errno, _sys_errlist, and _sys_nerr.

Remarks

The _popen function creates a pipe and asynchronously executes a spawned copy of the command processor with the specified string command. The character string mode specifies the type of access requested, as follows.

  • "r"
    The calling process can read the spawned command's standard output using the returned stream.

  • "w"
    The calling process can write to the spawned command's standard input using the returned stream.

  • "b"
    Open in binary mode.

  • "t"
    Open in text mode.

    참고

    If used in a Windows program, the _popen function returns an invalid file pointer that causes the program to stop responding indefinitely. _popen works properly in a console application. To create a Windows application that redirects input and output, see Creating a Child Process with Redirected Input and Output in the Windows SDK.

_wpopen is a wide-character version of _popen; the path argument to _wpopen is a wide-character string. _wpopen and _popen behave identically otherwise.

Example

// crt_popen.c
/* This program uses _popen and _pclose to receive a 
 * stream of text from a system process.
 */

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

int main( void )
{

   char   psBuffer[128];
   FILE   *pPipe;

        /* Run DIR so that it writes its output to a pipe. Open this
         * pipe with read text attribute so that we can read it 
         * like a text file. 
         */

   if( (pPipe = _popen( "dir *.c /on /p", "rt" )) == NULL )
      exit( 1 );

   /* Read pipe until end of file, or an error occurs. */

   while(fgets(psBuffer, 128, pPipe))
   {
      printf(psBuffer);
   }


   /* Close pipe and print return value of pPipe. */
   if (feof( pPipe))
   {
     printf( "\nProcess returned %d\n", _pclose( pPipe ) );
   }
   else
   {
     printf( "Error: Failed to read the pipe to the end.\n");
   }
}
