What language is the other program written in? There are ways to
interface languages like Perl and Python with C... either by creating
C functions that are callable from Perl or Python, or vice versa --
embedding a Perl or Python interpreter inside a C program and passing
data back and forth that way.
A simpler option, of course, is to either have the other program write
data to a file or print data to stdout that can be read from the C
program via a pipe or a similar inter-process communication method.
