Dear All 👋,
I've been encountering a few times the need for a procedure like
'system' or 'system*' but that might be capable of capturing the output
of the program that's being called.
While this is something that can be solved with a simple 'open-pipe*'
wrapper, the pattern seems relatively frequent in Guix, which is where I
noticed it. I suggested that some variant of such a wrapper could be
added to '(guix build utils)'⁰.
In reply to my post, it was brought to my attention that the problem
might be addressed at the Guile level and pointed me to this bug report.
I thought of sending a quick follow-up here to see if there's any rough
consensus on a possible way of addressing this - or why it might be
difficult or potentially not worth the effort.
Thanks, all best, Fabio.
