+<h1>system function</h1>
+<hr>
+</center>
+<p>
+The <b>system</b> function is used to issue a command.
+Execution of your program will not continue until the command has completed.
+<p>
+
+<pre>
+Library: stdlib.h
+
+Prototype: int system(const char *cmd);
+
+Syntax: system( "cat /etc/hosts");
+
+Notes:
+ In Unix systems, the command is passed to "/bin/sh -c" for
+ execution. I do not know what handles the command in DOS systems.
