Yes, and that's not a problem. system() is a horrible interface anyway, if only because of the automatic shell invocation and parsing; no self-respecting Unix programmer should ever use it. system() needs to be implemented for pure standards conformance, but it can be done as it was conceived, i.e. as a quick and dirty hack. Please, don't spend more time on it than strictly necessary and keep your brain power available for more interesting parts of the libc. -- Laurent _______________________________________________ uClibc mailing list uClibc@uclibc.org http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/uclibc
