[GRASS-dev] Call Grass modules from C++ code

[Rashad M]

Hi,

GRASS modules are independent process running in the system. you can use
stdout,stderr redirect using boost process or any other std stream redirect
library. This way you can read from grass modules and parse the output.

Hope that helps
