SystemCommand --
run a system command
|
SystemCommand(CMD: STRING): INT |
This function will work only if the CoCoA interpreter was started with
the "enable system command" flag set; by default the flag is not set
since system commands can be used maliciously (e.g. to delete files).
This function expects a string containing a system command (i.e.
a shell command on Linux platforms). The string
CMD
is passed to
the underlying system command line interpreter for execution; and the
exit code from the command line interpreter is returned as an integer.
