No, I don't think you can do anything cheaper than a fork and
a pipe(2). popen(), as suggested in another message, is pretty
much the same. I don't think stdio has a hook to capture all
the data a process is sending to a stream, and pass it to some
routine - that would be perfect, but unfortunately, I am not
aware of such a thing. I might be wrong though.
G'luck,
Peter
