Hi all, Is there any technical reason for why (ice-9 popen) only provides one way pipes? In other words, you can either write to the subprocess, or read from it, but not both. Are there extra technical difficulties involved with a two way pipe?
I have a current requirement to create a subprocess (mplayer in slave mode) and then both write to and read from it. And it seems to me that this kind of requirement probably isn't uncommon. Telford Tendys once posted a possible implementation of this at http://www.red-bean.com/guile/guile/old/3038.html. Can anyone see any problems with that implementation?
