The shell command $ avrdude -c usbtiny
outputs text to stderr. I cannot read it with commmands such as head-less-more cos it is not stdout. I want the text to stdout or to a file. How can I do it in C? I have tried to solve the problem by my last question but still unsolved.
I've not tried something like this in OpenBSD, but in at least a few *nix-like systems, you can do this using dup2
.
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void) {
fprintf(stderr, "This goes to stderr\n");
dup2(1, 2); //redirects stderr to stdout below this line.
fprintf(stderr, "This goes to stdout\n");
}
