Under a System V environment (Silicon Graphics 3.2.1 IRIX specifically),
I want to use popen(3) as both an input and output filter. In other words,
I want to be able to write out to a pipe from popen("cmd","r") and also be
able to capture the output that comes from that command (through another
stream). I would like to avoid having to write a temporary file because
my application may require a *LARGE* amount of data to be written through
this filter, and I really don't need or want it saved to disk since this
could easily eat all my disk space. Any suggestions? Please e-mail to
cliff@research.nec.com (any hint at all would be appreciated, even if I
have to abandon "popen").
