If yes, how can I half-close such pipe, sending EOF when I finish writing but keep it open for reading? What am I trying to do? popen(cmd, "r+") of course. So I want to send some data to standard input of an executed tool, close the writing part and read the result. I cannot just close everything when I finish writing because then I will not get the result in standard output. And if I don't send the EOF when writing, some tools will not start processing it (e.g. grep). TIA, Tom _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
