NAME

bg - used to start programs in the background.  

SYNOPSIS

bg [ -o file ] command [ args... ]  

DESCIPTION

If -o file is given as an argument, then the standard output and standard error output of the command are redirected to the indicated file. bg exits with -1 if an error occured, or the process id of the newly started process if everything is all right.  

IMPLEMENTATION

Built with the MiNT library, patchlevel 19. Using a different library, or an earlier version of the MiNT library, may or may not cause problems; in particular, various constants defined in <signal.h> and <ioctl.h> will probably be wrong if you are not using the MiNT library.
