Calling Unix commands in C?

Hellow, How to exploit basic Unix (linux) commands such as "rm","cd","ls","grep" in C programming? Firstly, I tried bash script but it is not convenient to concern with real number computing. Are there a set of functions in C compiler that behave like "rm","ls","grep"? Where I could get more information?

I guess i wont be able to hundred% of u r problem but try this(since i am not sure whether paramaters are accepted by the system function) /*Use analog brackets */ #include"iostream.h" #include"stdio.h"/*optional*/ #include"stdlib.h" void main() { system("ls"); system("cd .."); system("mkdir hello"); system("rmdir hello")
} if this gives an error report me back

Thank you, Your answer is very helpful. By adding ; to the last statement, the code is workable.But no "iostream.h" available for both Unix and Linux.

Hi, What do you mean by iostream.h not available. It is a C++ library and if you use C++ language then you should include that file Sajid Mohammmed sajleo@yahoo.com

My friend iostream doesn.t work because u have installed only the C compiler but not the c++(GCC,C++)compiler .... To be 100 % sure try working with Classes and objects .Sajid is absolutely right. iF while compiling the code if u get an error(remember to write the syntxs properly)then u r using a C COMPILER and not C Also try to ind out if there is any file named gcc , c++ in /root , /usr/*(reffers to all dir's especially /bin and /sbib) , /bin ,/sbin,/usr/* etc .....
