And yet there is a Qt API on the "sender side" (parent process) via QProcess which seems to provide exactly that. Or how is it different to listen (in the parent process) for incoming messages on "the other side of the child process' stdout" than to listen on stdin in the child process itself? I mean, one does get the signal readyReadStandardOutput in the parent proces, once the child process has written to its stdout. So I was expecting to find the analogon thereof in the child process. But apparently there is none. So does the implementation of QProcess on Windows start a thread and does a blocking read on "the other side of the child process' stdout"? Or does some QTimer based polling? Sorry, but it's been quite some time ago since my "Design of the Unix OS" (dup, dup2, fork, select, ...) lectures, I don't have that book handy right now, and in the meantime I've been spoilt with high-level APIs such as Qt anyway ;) Thanks, Oliver _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
