If you wish to execute a UNIX shell command within a C program, you have
different C commands to facilitate the process:
1. Use the system command (ie. system ("ls -lt");
2. Use the exec command (ie. exec[l,v,le,ve,lp]
3. Use popen()
Man pages are available for all these commands. Blake also mentioned a
utility called bperl that will convert Perl code to C code.
