As many other programs...
I'm not sure what you mean by "non-standard file descriptors". The
other program is free to open, read, write, etc any file he wants -
are you trying to trap any file operation it may want to do?
You *could* do such things -google for "code injection" and "API
hooking"- but I doubt it's what you really want.

Hi Gabriel!
When I wrote "non-standard file descriptors", I meant the file descriptior which
are pointed to files in the hardrive.
What I would like to do is not to trap any file operation, but instead intercept
that file operation, i.e. I would like the output of the external program to
don't be writen in a file (its normal behavior), but instead be sent to any
variable in my program.
I know the name of the file where the external program will write the output.. I
pass its name along the command line.
