I am trying to test the exit status of the cleartool lsvtree statement below, but it doesn't seem to be working due to the tail pipe, which it is testing instead. Is there a way around this without adding a tonne of new code?
Thanks
Cath

pclose
pclose(3) Library Functions Manual pclose(3)NAME
pclose - Closes a pipe to a process
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc.so, libc.a)
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdio.h>
int pclose (
FILE *stream );
STANDARDS
Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows:
pclose(): XPG4, XPG4-UNIX
Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and associated tags.
PARAMETERS
Points to a FILE structure for an open pipe returned by a previous call to the popen() function.
DESCRIPTION
The pclose() function closes a pipe between the calling program and a shell command to be executed. Use the pclose() function to close any
stream you have opened with the popen() function. The pclose() function waits for the associated process to end, and then returns the exit
status of the command. If the original processes and the process started with the popen() function concurrently read or write a common
file, neither should use buffered I/O. If they do, the results are unpredictable.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, the pclose() function returns the exit status of the command.
If an error is detected, pclose() sets errno to an appropriate value and returns a value of -1.
ERRORS
If the pclose() function fails, errno may be set to the following value: The status of the child process could not be obtained.
