that was opened by popen. The argument pipe is the

waits for the associated process to terminate.

_POSIX_C_SOURCE) must be defined to make the declaration of
pclose in <stdio.h> visible.
pclose returns the exit status of the command. pclose returns

or if an error occurs closing the pipe.
pclose is defined in accordance with POSIX 1003.2.
