I use this [1] which gives the caller access to the exit status and is
also slightly shorter:
(define (command-with-output-to-string/status* command)
(let* ((input-pipe (apply open-pipe* OPEN_READ command))
(output (get-string-all input-pipe))
(exit-val (status:exit-val (close-pipe input-pipe))))
(values output exit-val)))
It may be better, however, to finally fix Guile's 'system' and 'system*'
to work with 'with-output-to-string'. [2]
Kind regards
Felix
