      PStreams allows you to run another program from your C++ application and
      to transfer data between the two programs similar to shell pipelines.

      In the simplest case, a PStreams class is like a C++ wrapper for the
      POSIX.2 functions popen(3) and pclose(3), using C++ iostreams instead of
      C's stdio library.
