popen returns a standard i/o stream so you just read from it exactly
like a file! Make sure when you invoke it you use 'r'. eg
#include <stdio.h>
int main( void )
{ FILE *pipe;
char c;
if( ! ( pipe = popen("ls -l", "r") ) )
{ perror("ls -l");
return;
}
while( ( c = fgetc(pipe) ) != EOF )
printf("%c", c);
return 0;
}
