When stdout-redirection: is #f, the output of the process will go to the POSIX stdout.

When it is #t, the output of the process will go to the process port, and you can read from that port to get the output.

For example:

(define program
  (list path: "ls" stdout-redirection: #t arguments: (list "-l")))

(pp
 (call-with-input-process
  program
  (lambda (port)
    (read-line port #f))))
