Answer 2

Writing IPC code is usually not portable(AFAIK) & needs to call platform specific functions to achieve this.

You are asking for code(looks like you are cutting corners ) ,but have not specified if it will run on windows,Linux (or other platform).

My suggestion would be to refer man pages on Linux machine you will get enough information to get started (man pipe or man popen on terminal).

Or look for Windows documentation online.
