Title Body

I'm writing a program in Go that executes a server like program (also Go). Now I want to have the stdout of the child program in my terminal window where I started the parent program. One way to do this is with the cmd.Output() function, but this prints the stdout only after the process has exited. (That's a problem because this server-like program runs for a long time and I want to read the log output) The variable out is of type io.ReadCloser and I don't know what I should do with it to achieve my task, and I can't find anything helpful on the web on this topic. func main() { cmd := exec.Command("/path/to/my/child/program") out, err := cmd.StdoutPipe() if err != nil { fmt.Println(err) } err = cmd.Start() if err != nil { fmt.Println(err) } //fmt.Println(out) cmd.Wait() } Explanation to the code: uncomment the Println function to get the code to compile, I know that Println(out io.ReadCloser) is not a meaningful function. (it produces the output &{3 |0 <nil> 0} ) These two lines are just required to get the code to compile.
