NAME    system - issue a shell commandSYNOPSIS    system(cmd)TYPES    cmd		str    return	intDESCRIPTION    This function excutes the shell command found in the srtring, cmd.    The return value is system dependent.  On POSIX P1003.1 compliant    systems the return value is defined by the waitpid system call.    Typically a shell command that returns with a 0 exit status will    cause this function to return a 0 value.  On some systems, a shell    command that returns with an exit status of e will cause this    function to return e*256.  Core dumps, termination due to signals    and other waitpid values will change the return value.    On POSIX P1003.1 compliant systems, if cmd is empty then this function    will determine if the shell is executable.	If the shell is executable,    0 is returned otherwise non-zero is returned.EXAMPLE    ; system("")	    0    ; system("true")	    0    ; system("exit 2")	    512    ; system("date")    Sun Jul  9 03:21:48 PDT 1995	    0LIMITS    noneLINK LIBRARY    noneSEE ALSO    cmdbuf, argv## Copyright (C) 1999-2006  Landon Curt Noll#### Calc is open software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under## the terms of the version 2.1 of the GNU Lesser General Public License## as published by the Free Software Foundation.#### Calc is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT## ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY## or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
