# File: popen.icn

# Subject: Procedures for pipes

# Author: Ronald Florence

#
# Contents:
#
# popen(command, mode)
# mode == "w" writes to a pipe
# mode == "r" reads from a pipe
#
# pclose(pipe)
#
# On systems without real pipes (ms-dos), popen and pclose imitate
# pipes; pclose must be called after popen. The code should run
# faster on ms-dos if dir in tempfile() points to a directory on a
# virtual disk.
#
# On systems with real pipes, popen & pclose open and close a pipe.
