if (ret == -1) [](start = 4, length = 14)

Thanks for the fix!
Could you please add some unit test cases to cover:

  1. return positive value
  2. return -1 and see the strerror
  3. return other negative value

BTW, what is the behavior if pclose's wait successfully but cmd returns -1? Can we detect this case and not treat it as ERROR?

{
SWSS_LOG_ERROR("%s: %s", cmd.c_str(), strerror(errno));
}
