NAME

system - issue a shell command to the host

SYNOPSIS

system(string)
char *string;

DESCRIPTION

system causes the string to be given as input to sh(1) running on the host as if the string had been typed as a command at a terminal. The process waits until the shell has completed, then returns the exit status of the shell.

For system to run, the link process (see link(1P) must be running on the host system.
