NAME RunCommand -- Runs a program using the current process (V36) SYNOPSIS rc = RunCommand(seglist, stacksize, argptr, argsize) D0 D1 D2 D3 D4 LONG RunCommand(BPTR, ULONG, STRPTR, ULONG) FUNCTION Runs a command on your process/cli. Seglist may be any language, including BCPL programs. Stacksize is in bytes. argptr is a null- terminated string, argsize is its length. Returns the returncode the program exited with in d0. Returns -1 if the stack couldn't be allocated. NOTE: the argument string MUST be terminated with a newline to work properly with ReadArgs() and other argument parsers. RunCommand also takes care of setting up the current input filehandle in such a way that ReadArgs() can be used in the program, and restores the state of the buffering before returning. It also sets the value returned by GetArgStr(), and restores it before returning. NOTE: the setting of the argument string in the filehandle was added in V37. It's usually appropriate to set the command name (via SetProgramName()) before calling RunCommand(). RunCommand() sets the value returned by GetArgStr() while the command is running. INPUTS seglist - Seglist of command to run. stacksize - Number of bytes to allocate for stack space argptr - Pointer to argument command string. argsize - Number of bytes in argument command. RESULT rc - Return code from executed command. -1 indicates failure SEE ALSO CreateNewProc(), SystemTagList(), Execute(), GetArgStr(), SetProgramName(), ReadArgs()
