You can't. You're simply sending a stream of input to the process. You won't be able to act on any output or error messages until after the second "EOF" marker.

getc(3s) getc(3s)
Name
getc, getchar, fgetc, getw - get character or word from stream
Syntax
#include <stdio.h>
int getc(stream)
FILE *stream;
int getchar()
int fgetc(stream)
FILE *stream;
int getw(stream)
FILE *stream;
Description
The function returns the next character from the named input stream.
The function is identical to (stdin).
The function behaves like but is a genuine function, not a macro. It may be used to save object text.
The function returns the next word (in a 32-bit integer on a VAX-11 or MIPS machine) from the named input stream. It returns the constant
EOF upon end of file or error, but since that is a good integer value, feof and should be used to check the success of The assumes no spe-
cial alignment in the file.
Restrictions
Because it is implemented as a macro, treats a stream argument with side effects incorrectly. In particular, `getc(*f++);' doesn't work as
expected.
Diagnostics
These functions return the integer constant EOF at end of file or upon read error.
A stop with message, `Reading bad file', means an attempt has been made to read from a stream that has not been opened for reading by
