Hello All,

I have a an application written in C and runing on Red Hat Linux.

In my code I have written a command that is fired on the linux shell by using system() function call.

Now I need to read the output of this command in my c program and assign it to a variable.

Can anyone please tell how do i do so ?

Thanks and Regards,
Shamik.
