[comp.unix.wizards] Calling a c executable from another executable

AGRISCS@umcvmb.missouri.edu (Don Ingli) (12/06/89)

Another way is this....

char out[80], arg1[80];
strcpy(arg1,"hello");
sprintf(out,"banner %s",arg1);
system(out);

ie you can use the system command with the sprintf if you want to pass
arguments...
system("banner hello"); is the same as the above..
