Warning: If you're reading a command with infinite output, such as 'vmstat 2', pclose will cause the script to hang. This is because pclose waits for the command to exit, in order to return the exit status. If the process never exits, pclose never returns.

Somewhere between 4.1.1 and 4.2.3, the return value from pclose changed.



The exit status used to be in the second byte, so that the status would be (pclose($fp)/256).



It is now in the low-order byte, so the status is just pclose($fp).



Be careful.

As I understand pclose will return 0 (on every platform) in case popen could not execute the specified command.



Since popen only returns the status wether it was able to send a command and not wether it was succesfully executed. Only the returned value of pclose can be used to check wether a command could be executed.

The return value of pclose() is not the exit status of the program, but a value as returned by waitpid() of wait4().



To obtain the exit status:



$ret=(pclose($f)>>8)&0xFF;
