c++ - launch an exe/process with stdin stdout and stderr?

Question

With C++ how do i launch an exe/process with stdin stdout and stderr? I know how to do this in .NET and i remember using popen in the past but popen seems to allow stdin OR stdout not both and not all 3.

I need this for windows but a linux solution is welcome as i'll need it for the same project in the future.

Answer 1

A portable solution would be boost.process

(Note: this has been proposed as a Boost library, and released under the same license terms, but not officially accepted. See also Where is Boost.Process?)
