Command output into a variable
Hi, with this command:

cu -l /dev/ttyACM0 -s 9600 > name.txt

I put the output of the port in a txt

Is posible to do the same (or similar) in a var directly, inside a C program?

cu -l /dev/ttyACM0 -s 9600 > variable ?

I have trying this withs pipes, but i dont know how to adress te port to a pipe.
Also i have tried with function read, fgets, etc.. but I don't why, it doesn't works, just write.

Thank you
