Unix Shell Comand inside C/C++ code?

[csd]

Friends:
Please tell me if it's possible to run an Unix shell command
inside a C/C++ program? The question may be too stupid but we do need run such a command at some
point inside the code, then continue to execute the rest part of the code...

If possible, how to do that?

Thanks.

not a stupid question at all

you need the system() function

system("ls&quot
