@node system, process
@subheading Syntax

@example
#include <stdlib.h>

int system(const char *cmd);
@end example

@subheading Description

This function runs the specified command.  When calling programs
compiled by djgpp this function will not use command.com and so
will not be subject to its 126 character limit on command lines.

Command lines and pipes( i.e., the use of "<", ">", ">>", and "|")
will be simulated internally in this function.

Command.com will only be invoked to run commands internal to it,
or to run batch files.  In these cases, the returned error code
will always be zero, since command.com always exits with code 0.

@subheading Return Value

The return value of the child process.

@subheading Example

@example
system("cc1plus.exe @@cc123456.gp");
