<minerjoe>Hello all. Is there are library for guile that allows me to do things I would do in the shell? Most importantly start a subprocess and monitor it's output?
<str1ngs>minerjoe: probably you want open-pipe which is built into guile. see https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/Pipes.html
<manumanumanu>minerjoe: and if open-pipe is not enough, there is a hidden open-process that allows you to handle input and output separately
<manumanumanu>it is hidden, and can be found like this: (define open-process (@@ (ice-9 popen) open-process))) (i think)
<manumanumanu>hasn't there been at least one patch to expose open-process?
<dsmith-work>There is also pipeline. More complicated, but if you need it, it's there.
