Hello,
I've written the following simple program:
#include <cstdlib>
int main( )
{
// /fff does not exist
int return_value = system("ls -l /fff");
cout << "\n Return Value: " << return_value << "\n";
return return_value;
}
When I compile this and run it from bash I see "Return
Value: 256" at stdout as I'd expect. However, I then
immediately 'echo $?' and bash spits back '0' rather
than '256.' Is this correct? Shouldn't $? hold the
return value of the last program run from bash (ie, my
c program?) Thanks in advance for any replies.
