pclose returns -1 in solaris 10

[smadhans]

Hi,
Below is the snippet code:

File *fptr;
char filebuf[300];
if ((fptr=popen("ls -ltr ","r")) != NULL)
{
while(!feof(fptr))
{
memset(filebuf, '\0', sizeof(filebuf));
if(fgets(filebuf, sizeof(filebuf), in1) != NULL)
{
printf("%s",filebuf);
}
}
}
if (pclose(fptr)==-1)
{
printf("\n pclose error ");
}

In the above code, the poopen command executed successfully, when it tries to perform pclose, it throwed an error "pclose error".

Above code has been executed in
SUN OS 5.10 Generic_142909-17 sun4u sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise

Did anyone came across this issue earlier.
If yes, please help me out on your suggesstions.

Thnkx

You posted this in the wrong forum. This forum is intended for Perl problems, so you probably won't get much help.

As of your problem, I would do a perror to get more information.
