Starting an executable within a C program

[Treehouse]

Is there a way to start executables within my C program? If so how?

 

[hughLg]

are you mean that you want to run a executable file (program) within C program?

Yes, it depends on the operating system and compiler you are running but you should look up the following calls :

system()
execp (and other exec variations)
spawn (if your system supports it)
fork and vfork
