1.7.27(0.271/5/3)

My PATH picks /usr/bin/file, but just to be sure I hard coded it,
and also used it for the first popen(), and also set PATH to /usr/bin:

$ gcc -o nested_popen nested_popen.c -Wall -Wextra && \
  PATH=/usr/bin ./nested_popen
  buf1 = /usr/bin/file.exe: application/x-dosexec
popen: No error
fgets2 EOF

It shouldn't be at EOF in this case.  If I change the
second popen() to open anything, e.g.,
popen("garbage,really", "r"), it still reports success.
We're getting closer?

David


#include <stdio.h>

int
main() {
  FILE *f1, *f2;

  if ((f1 = popen("file --mime-type /usr/bin/file.exe", "r"))) {
    char buf1[BUFSIZ];

    while (fgets(buf1, sizeof buf1, f1)) {
      printf("  buf1 = %s", buf1);

      if ((f2 = popen("/usr/bin/file.exe --mime-type /usr/bin/file.exe",
                      "r"))) {
        char buf2[BUFSIZ];

        perror("popen");

        /* This fgets call fails on 64-bit Cygwin 1,7.27(0.271/5/3),
           with "No error". */
        if (fgets(buf2, sizeof buf2, f2)) {
          printf("  buf2 = %s", buf2);
        } else if (feof (f2)) {
          fputs ("fgets2 EOF\n", stderr);
        } else {
          perror("fgets2");
        }

        pclose(f2);
      } else {
        perror("popen2");
      }
    }

    pclose(f1);
  } else {
    perror("popen1");
  }

  return 0;
}
