system(1tcl)
system --
execute command via system(S) call
Synopsis
system command
Description
Executes command via the
system(3S)
call.
It differs from exec
in that system does not return the executed command's standard output
as the result string, and
system goes through the UNIX shell to provide wildcard
expansion, redirection, etc,
as is normal from an
sh(1)
command line.
The exit code of the command is returned.
