如何从其他命令行界面程序获取输出?

好的,我做了一些研究,但我无法找到有用的东西。我正在尝试编写一个程序,它将从iwconfig(在Linux机器上)接收输入。然后它将对输入进行排序,进行一些计算并输出到数据库。通过输入和输出排序不是一个问题(或者我真的希望它不是)但我正在努力的是从另一个命令行程序读取输入。我现在所拥有的基本Hello World计划是:

    #include <iostream>
    #include <cstdlib>

    using namespace std;

    int main() {
        int numbr = 0;
        cout << "Hello world!" << endl;
        cin >> numbr;
        cout << "number is " << numbr;
        cout << system("iwconfig");
        return 0; 
    }

然而,在运行程序时,它所做的只是输出hello world,请求我的随机输入并再次输出。它不输出iwconfig(我也将该行作为系统运行(&#34; iwconfig&#34;);没有输出语句)。有人会非常友好地解释我如何运行像iwconfig这样的程序并捕获它的输出吗?

“有人会非常友好地解释我如何运行像iwconfig这样的程序并捕获它的输出吗?”

查看int system( const char *command );文档。它当然不提供返回值,您希望使用cout语句输出。

您可能希望在main和iwconfig程序之间建立管道,如described here,以控制子进程使用的输入和输出流。

复制上述答案:

int main() {
    int fd_p2c[2], fd_c2p[2], bytes_read;
    pid_t childpid;
    char readbuffer[80];
    string program_name = "iwconfig";
    string receive_output = "";

    if (pipe(fd_p2c) != 0 || pipe(fd_c2p) != 0) {
        cerr << "Failed to pipe\n";
        exit(1);
    }
    childpid = fork();

    if (childpid < 0) {
        cout << "Fork failed" << endl;
        exit(-1);
    }
    else if (childpid == 0) {
        if (dup2(fd_p2c[0], 0) != 0 ||
            close(fd_p2c[0]) != 0 ||
            close(fd_p2c[1]) != 0) {
            cerr << "Child: failed to set up standard input\n";
            exit(1);
        }
        if (dup2(fd_c2p[1], 1) != 1 ||
            close(fd_c2p[1]) != 0 ||
            close(fd_c2p[0]) != 0) {
            cerr << "Child: failed to set up standard output\n";
            exit(1);
        }

        execl(program_name.c_str(), program_name.c_str(), (char *) 0);
        cerr << "Failed to execute " << program_name << endl;
        exit(1);
    }
    else {
        close(fd_p2c[0]);
        close(fd_c2p[1]);

        cout << "Writing to child: <<" << gulp_command << ">>" << endl;
        int nbytes = gulp_command.length();
        if (write(fd_p2c[1], gulp_command.c_str(), nbytes) != nbytes) {
            cerr << "Parent: short write to child\n";
            exit(1);
        }
        close(fd_p2c[1]);

        while (1) {
            bytes_read = read(fd_c2p[0], readbuffer, sizeof(readbuffer)-1);

            if (bytes_read <= 0) break;

            readbuffer[bytes_read] = '\0';
            receive_output += readbuffer;
        }

        close(fd_c2p[0]);
        cout << "From child: <<" << receive_output << ">>" << endl;
    }
    return 0;
}
