Sorry, could you rephrase that?
Ok
the return of pclose() is supposed to be the exit code of the command given to the given pointer to a file descriptor, so here in the code i put in the very top it returns the variable 'pstat', is this equal to the exit number of the given command?

POPEN(3) Library Functions Manual POPEN(3)
NAME
popen, pclose - initiate I/O to/from a process
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdio.h>
FILE *popen(command, type)
char *command, *type;
pclose(stream)
FILE *stream;
DESCRIPTION
The arguments to popen are pointers to null-terminated strings containing respectively a shell command line and an I/O mode, either "r" for
reading or "w" for writing. It creates a pipe between the calling process and the command to be executed. The value returned is a stream
pointer that can be used (as appropriate) to write to the standard input of the command or read from its standard output.
A stream opened by popen should be closed by pclose, which waits for the associated process to terminate and returns the exit status of the
command.
Because open files are shared, a type "r" command may be used as an input filter, and a type "w" as an output filter.
SEE ALSO
pipe(2), fopen(3S), fclose(3S), system(3), wait(2), sh(1)
DIAGNOSTICS
Popen returns a null pointer if files or processes cannot be created, or the shell cannot be accessed.
Pclose returns -1 if stream is not associated with a `popened' command.
BUGS
Buffered reading before opening an input filter may leave the standard input of that filter mispositioned. Similar problems with an output
filter may be forestalled by careful buffer flushing, for instance, with fflush, see fclose(3S).
Popen always calls sh, never calls csh.
