This program runs a process ([netstat](<http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/netstat.8.html>)) via [popen()](<http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/popen.html>) and reads all the standard output from the process and echoes that to standard output.

Note: popen() does not exist in the standard C library, but it is rather a part of POSIX C)
