robertbendun / read-process

Provide FILE* and std::istream compatible abstractions for reading process output.

read-process

Goal of this library is to provide cross platform definitions of reading process stdout using std::istream and FILE* conventions and abstractions.

C

Coming soon as cross platform popen.

C++

Library provides only read stream ipstream derived from std::istream. Current implementation is POSIX & libstdc++ only. Requires C++11.

The simplest example:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

#include "ipstream.hpp"

int main()
{
  rp::ipstream stream("ls -la");
  for (std::string line; std::getline(stream, line); ++i)
      std::cout << line << '\n';
}
