linux命令由popen在C代码上执行

int main(int argc,char *argv[]){    
    FILE* file = popen("ntpdate","r");
    char buffer[100];
    fscanf(file,"%100s",buffer);
    pclose(file);
    printf("buffer is :%sn",buffer);
    return 0;
}

它输出：

21 Apr 03:03:03 ntpdate[4393]: no server can be used,exiting
buffer is:

为什么printf没有输出什么？如果我使用ls作为命令,则printf输出ls输出.我在做什么错误的ntpdate执行？

如果我执行下面的代码(参考webpage)

#define COMMAND_LEN 8
#define DATA_SIZE 512

int main(int argc,char *argv[]){


    FILE *pf;
       char command[COMMAND_LEN];
       char data[DATA_SIZE];

       // Execute a process listing
       sprintf(command,"ntpdate");

       // Setup our pipe for reading and execute our command.
       pf = popen(command,"r");

       if(!pf){
         fprintf(stderr,"Could not open pipe for output.n");
         return;
       }

       // Grab data from process execution
       fgets(data,DATA_SIZE,pf);

       // Print grabbed data to the screen.
       fprintf(stdout,"-%s-n",data);

       if (pclose(pf) != 0)
           fprintf(stderr," Error: Failed to close command stream n");

       return 0;
}

我明白了

21 Apr 03:15:45 ntpdate[5334]: no servers can be used,exiting
-?2}?????"|?4#|?-
 Error: Failed to close command stream

上面的代码有什么错误？
