popen with a fossil (split from bumped thread)

[leandroaz]

Hey everyone!

I can't get the following code compile under borland compiler:


Warning clock.c 11: Nonportable pointer conversion in function main
Turbo Link Version 5.0 Copyright (c) 1992 Borland International
Error: Undefined symbol __pclose in module clock.c
Error: Undefined symbol __popen in module clock.c

Available memory 4145152

I appreciate any help!

#include <stdio.h>

#define popen _popen
#define pclose _pclose
  
int main(){

	   FILE *fp;
	   char line[130];			
   
	   fp = _popen("netstat -n", "r");


   while ( fgets( line, sizeof line, fp))
		{
		  printf("%s", line);
		}
	   _pclose(fp);


getch();
return(0);
}

[master5001]

#ifdef _WIN32_
# define popen _popen
# define pclose _pclose
#endif

Why is that so difficult to place in a header file?

Now, now, let us not judge. Besides, at least he is keeping portablility in mind. That is more than I can say for many of the folks who are posting for their first time.
