Top Forums Programming [C language] system function print output when not expected. Post 302418500 by ejdv on Tuesday 4th of May 2010 12:37:27 PM

The problem is that I personally do not want to program C.
I need to adjust a program that is written in C by a colleague that left the company.
With minimum effort, if possible.

The program that is being executed actually only needs to return 0, 1 or -1, so that is quite simple.
If I could program C, I would not use a system command at all.
It is basically a C program calling a Perl program, which seems stupid.

Anyway, it is working now and serves its purpose.

Perhaps later I will have a go at it and integrate the Perl program into the C program.

NAME
reporter-print - Prints problem information to standard output or FILE. SYNOPSIS
reporter-print [-v] [-d DIR] [-o FILE] [-a yes/no] [-r] DESCRIPTION
The tool reads problem directory DIR and prints its text representation to stdout or to a specified FILE. Integration with ABRT events reporter-print can be used as a reporter, to allow users to report problems by writing them to a file. Example: EVENT=report reporter-print -o "${Log_File:-/tmp/abrt.log}" OPTIONS
-d DIR Path to problem directory. -v Be more verbose. Can be given multiple times. -o FILE Output file -a yes/no If -o FILE is specified, controls whether FILE is appended to, or overwritten. (default: no) -r Add a record to reported_to in DIR which specifies that this problem was reported. Some tools use this to differentiate between problems which were and weren't yet reported. Output format The output is designed to be machine-parsable. The elements which have only one line are printed in the form NAME:<whitespace>VALUE Elements which have more than one line are printed in the form NAME: :LINE1 :LINE2 :LINE3 Output may contain empty lines for better readability.
