What error are you getting? It will be difficult to help you unless you share information like that. I tried the first bit of code that you've supplied, and it works fine on a terminal.

Hi
The following is my program to test popen()
routine. The purpose is to print some contents
of the corrent directory.
But in fact, the output is only one character
'a', which I believe is the first char of the file
"a.out".
So, can anybody tell me what is wrong about
this program?... (2 Replies)

tic(1M) System Administration Commands tic(1M)
NAME
tic - terminfo compiler
SYNOPSIS
tic [-v [n]] [-c] file
DESCRIPTION
The command tic translates a terminfo file from the source format into the compiled format. The results are placed in the directory
/usr/share/lib/terminfo. The compiled format is necessary for use with the library routines in curses(3CURSES).
If the environment variable TERMINFO is set, the compiled results are placed there instead of /usr/share/lib/terminfo.
Total compiled entries cannot exceed 4096 bytes. The name field cannot exceed 128 bytes. Terminal names exceeding 14 characters will be
truncated to 14 characters and a warning message will be printed.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-c Specifies to check only file for errors. Errors in use= links are not detected.
-v[n] Specify that (verbose) output be written to standard error trace information showing tic's progress. The optional integer n is a
number from 1 to 10, indicating the desired level of detail of information. If n is omitted, the default level is 1. If n is spec-
ified and greater than 1, the level of detail is increased.
OPERANDS
file
Contains one or more terminfo terminal descriptions in source format [see terminfo(4)]. Each description in the file describes the
capabilities of a particular terminal. When a use=entry-name field is discovered in a terminal entry currently being compiled, tic
reads in the binary from /usr/share/lib/terminfo to complete the entry. (Entries created from file will be used first. If the environ-
ment variable TERMINFO is set, that directory is searched instead of /usr/share/lib/terminfo.) tic duplicates the capabilities in
entry-name for the current entry, with the exception of those capabilities that are explicitly defined in the current entry.
FILES
/usr/share/lib/terminfo/?/* Compiled terminal description database
ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

SEE ALSO

NOTES
When an entry, for example, entry_name_1, contains a use=entry_name_2 field, any canceled capabilities in entry_name_2 must also appear in
entry_name_1 before use= for these capabilities to be canceled in entry_name_1.
