Where I can find the CIN .c code for the communication function "System Exec.vi"?

Hi, I am using Linux LabView 6.1. I am trying to use the communication function "System Exec.vi" to communicate/interface execute files outside of LV environment. However I don't see "stand output" output with giving inputs for this function. Wondering if I have to load a CIN code which was part of the "System Exec.vi". So far I am unable to find this .c code file. Do I have to generate it? Thanks for giving directions.

The C code has already been compiled and linked directly into the VI. I don't believe that NI makes the source available for that particular CIN.

I'm not sitting at a Linux box right now, but the Win32 version of this VI definitely has a stdout output. What it does not have is a stdout input, because what you wire to this VI is not a file ID for I/O redirection, but simply a string indicator to get the actual contents of the output stream. Of course, you could easily write that output to a file or send it to another executable and thereby get some of the functionality of a UN*X pipe.
