Does anyone know of a good tutorial on running windows commands in the C Language?

Looking for a site that, even if barely getting you started, shows what command in C you can use to run windows commands.





Like in unix you can call execl("bin/ls","ls","0"); and that will run the ls command for you, and then some forks etc.

Does anyone know of a good tutorial on running windows commands in the C Language?
There are two ways to do this from C language.





system("command goes here") is the most compatible. It has less control as it spawns an intermediate cmd shell to start the program.





Linux/Unix has exec???() which can be used to start external processes.


For Windows there is a spawn() command with some variants like spawnv() or spawnvpe().


Check your compiler docs.
