Could we get something akin to (system->string) added to Chicken somewhere?
Summary from:
http://practical-scheme.net/wiliki/schemexref.cgi?system-%3estring
"Appends all strings, then calls the result string as a command, and collects
the output from the command into a string to be returned. See system."
I am using the following code, which just takes a single string:
(define (system->string cmd)
(string-chomp (with-input-from-pipe cmd read-all)))
Either the library or posix units look like good candidates to me.
