php popen not close,使用popen时必须关闭流

正如标题所说,我不确定是否应关闭使用popen打开的流.

我不确定的原因是因为每次我在使用popen打开的流上调用pclose时,我得到一个-1返回代码.

如果我之后打电话给perror,我收到以下消息.

pclose: No Child Processes

我在下面使用的代码基本上是运行一个命令并捕获它的输出.我从最后一行得到错误(返回pclose(fileListingStream);)

int executeCommand(char *command) {

//The Stream to read that will contain the output of the command

FILE *fileListingStream;

char path[PATH_MAX];

//Run the commmand in read mode

fileListingStream = popen(command,"r");

//Ensure that its not null before continuing

if (fileListingStream == NULL)

return EXIT_FAILURE;

//Get the data from the stream and then print to the the console

while (fgets(path, PATH_MAX, fileListingStream) != NULL)

printf("%s", path);

//Close the stream and return its return code

return pclose(fileListingStream);

}
