.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
||||
.In stdlib.h
|
||||
.Ft int
|
||||
.Fn system "const char *string"
|
||||
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Fn system
|
||||
function
|
||||
hands the argument
|
||||
.Fa string
|
||||
to the command interpreter
|
||||
.Xr sh 1 .
|
||||
The calling process waits for the shell to finish executing the command,
|
||||
ignoring
|
||||
.Dv SIGINT
|
||||
and
|
||||
.Dv SIGQUIT ,
|
||||
and blocking
|
||||
.Dv SIGCHLD .
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
If
|
||||
.Fa string
|
||||
is a
|
||||
.Dv NULL
|
||||
pointer,
|
||||
.Fn system
|
||||
will return non-zero, if the command interpreter is available, or zero if none
|
||||
is available.
|
||||
Otherwise,
|
||||
.Fn system
|
||||
returns the termination status of the shell in the format specified by
|
||||
.Xr waitpid 2 .
|
||||
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
||||
If a child process cannot be created, or the termination status of
|
||||
the shell cannot be obtained,
|
||||
.Fn system
|
||||
returns -1 and sets
|
||||
.Va errno
|
||||
to indicate the error.
|
||||
If execution of the shell fails,
|
||||
.Fn system
|
||||
returns the termination status for a program that terminates with a call of
|
||||
.Fn exit 127 .

|
||||
.Sh STANDARDS
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Fn system
|
||||
function
|
||||
conforms to
|
||||
.St -ansiC
|
||||
and
|
||||
.St -p1003.2-92 .
|
||||
.Sh CAVEATS
|
||||
Never supply the
|
||||
.Fn system
|
||||
function with a command containing any part of an unsanitized user-supplied
|
||||
string.
|
||||
Shell meta-characters present will be honored by the
|
||||
.Xr sh 1
|
||||
command interpreter.
