Chapter 18. Pipes and Processes
One of the strengths of UNIX is its ability to reuse different process components. The shell demonstrates this by connecting the output of one process to the input of another, using pipes in an almost effortless manner. This chapter will focus on how programs create pipes to other processes using popen(3) and how to use the system(3) function to invoke external processes.
