this question has answer here:

• linux 3.0: executing child process piped stdin/stdout 3 answers

i use psuedo-code express want do:

file* fd = popen("/bin/cat", ...); write data stdin of `/bin/cat` using fd; read data stdout of `/bin/cat` using fd; 

is possible?

popen() can read new process. if need read , write,

• create pipe connected new process using pipe().
• fork new process using fork()
• redirect process's input , outputs pipes created earlier using dup2()
• call exec on child process (the new process) using exec family functions
