You can up the output buffer of the forked program to something suitable, which means the OS will cache it for you until you copy it to a buffer in qgit (i.e., read from the descriptor).
Please, what do you mean with "something suitable"? How can I redirect the output to a memory buffer or to a file that the OS will cache *until* I've copied it? If I redirect to a 'normal' file, this will be flushed by OS after some time, normally few seconds. Could you please post links with examples/docs about this kind of implementation?
