+# run-f
+
+This simple Fortran library allows you to execute a command in the command line and save its result as a string without the need for a temporary file.
+
+It was inspired by the work of [Jacob Williams](https://degenerateconic.com/fortran-c-interoperability.html) and uses `iso_c_binding` to call `popen`, `fgets` and `pclose` from the C standard library.
+
+## Usage
+
+First, import the `run_f` module into your Fortran code:
+
+```fortran
+use run_f, only: run
+```
+
+Then you can use the `run` function to execute a command and save its result as a string:
+
+```fortran
+character(len=:), allocatable :: output
+
+output = run("whoami")
+```
+
+### Error Handling
+
+### Print Command
+
+### Ignore Errors
+
+You can also use the `optional` arguments to add error handling or print the command to the console before executing it:
+
+```fortran
+character(:), allocatable :: output
+character(*), parameter :: command = "whoami"
+logical :: has_error
+
+output = run(command, has_error, print_cmd=.true.)
+
+if (has_error) then
+  print *, "An error occurred while executing the command: ", command
+  stop 1
+end if
+```
+
+## Install
+
+### fpm
+
+Using [fpm](https://fpm.fortran-lang.org/en/index.html), you can simply add this package as a dependency to your `fpm.toml` file:
+
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+
+[dependencies.run-f]
+git = "https://github.com/minhqdao/run-f.git"
+tag = "v0.1.0"
+```
+
+Then import the `run_f` module into your Fortran code:
+
+```fortran
+use run_f, only: run
+```
+
+Run `fpm build` to download the dependency.
+
+## Tests
+
+Run tests with:
+
+```bash
+fpm test
+```
+
+## Formatting
+
+The CI will fail if the code is not formatted correctly. Please configure your editor to use [fprettify](https://pypi.org/project/fprettify/) and use an indentation width of 2 or run `fprettify -i 2 -r .` before committing.
+
+## Contribute
+
+Feel free to [create an issue](https://github.com/minhqdao/run-f/issues) in case you found a bug, have any questions or want to propose further improvements. Please stick to the existing coding style when opening a pull request.
+
+## License
+
+You can use, redistribute and/or modify the code under the terms of the [MIT License](https://github.com/minhqdao/run-f/blob/main/LICENSE).
