Ok, thanks. I'm looking at the backend :)

Hi Aitor,
As you can see, popen runs the command opening a pipe to trap its
textual output. shell_reader is a pointer to the actual output reader.
fgets reads the shell_reader line by line until it returns false. It
places lines in buffer using 1024 as a size limit in the quoted code
snippet. The read string in buffer is null terminated.
This should set you going.
