Hammer & Screwdriver Execute C program in Current shell

Hello,
I have a c program executable which I need to run inside a shell script.
But the c program runs in a subshell because of which all the actions done by the c program is not available to the current shell.

Is there any way to execute a C program binary executable in the current shell?

NAME
lr_environment - Export Lire configuration in shell script form SYNOPSIS
eval `lr_environment` DESCRIPTION
The lr_environment command is used to import the Lire configuration in Lire shell scripts. All of Lire configuration variables will be written in a format that can be evaled by the shell. Shell scripts don't usually have to use that command, since it is done by the defaults file sourced by each command. The old names used by when the configuration was done in shell script are also exported by this script for backward compatibility. AUTHOR
