Yes, but there's an entire newsgroup, comp.unix.programmer, dedicated
to programming under Unix and Unix-like operating systems.
The C language doesn't mention popen(). Unix does, and
comp.unix.programmer is full of people who know more about it than
even a C expert is likely to know.
My point is simply that comp.unix.programmer is a better place
for such questions than comp.lang.c, for at least two reasons.
First, you're more likely to get knowledgeable answers in c.u.p.,
which will be read by other experts who are going to be able to
point out any errors. And second, it lets clc focus on what it's
best at: discussing the C language as defined by the standard;
there isn't a better newsgroup for that.
And yet some people (I'm not referring either to you or to the OP)
take great offense at that, or pretend to.
