============

Simple Fortran module for `popen`.

[![Language](https://img.shields.io/badge/-Fortran-734f96?logo=fortran&logoColor=white)](https://github.com/topics/fortran)

[![GitHub release](https://img.shields.io/github/release/jacobwilliams/popen-fortran.svg?style=plastic)](https://github.com/jacobwilliams/popen-fortran/releases/latest)

[![Build Status](https://github.com/jacobwilliams/popen-fortran/actions/workflows/CI.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/jacobwilliams/popen-fortran/actions)

### Example

The library provides a routine `get_command_as_string` which can be used like so:

```fortran

program main

  use popen_module, only: get_command_as_string

  implicit none

  character(len=:),allocatable :: res

  res = get_command_as_string('ls -l')

  write(*,'(A)') res

end program main

```

### Documentation

The latest API documentation can be found [here](https://jacobwilliams.github.io/popen-fortran/). This was generated from the source code using [FORD](https://github.com/Fortran-FOSS-Programmers/ford) (i.e. by running `ford ford.md`).

### Compiling

The library can be compiled with recent versions the Intel Fortran Compiler and GFortran (and presumably any other Fortran compiler that supports modern standards).

A `fpm.toml` file is provided for compiling popen-fortran with the [Fortran Package Manager](https://github.com/fortran-lang/fpm). For example, to build:

```

fpm build --profile release

```

To run the unit tests:

```

fpm test --profile release

```

To use `popen-fortran` within your fpm project, add the following to your `fpm.toml` file:

```toml

[dependencies]

popen-fortran = { git="https://github.com/jacobwilliams/popen-fortran.git" }

```

or, to use a specific version:

```toml

[dependencies]

popen-fortran = { git="https://github.com/jacobwilliams/popen-fortran.git", tag = "1.0.0"  }

```
