Sending email from within a C program
 

Is there an API available to send email from within a C program on Linux?

One possibility:

system ("echo SOME STUFF | mail -s 'MY SUBJECT' SOMEBODY@somewhere.com");

you can also use a popen with sendmail


this works just like working with files on the harddrive



this code would put the output of ps -A into the stream command that you could parse with sscanf or some other function to get the data or work with it.
