C/C++ :: System Call A Command From Within A Program?
Sep 17, 2014how to invoke a UNIX command within a program
I found this:
dd if=/dev/urandom of=myrandom bs=100 count=1
and I found this:
dd if=/dev/zero of=mytestfile.out bs=1 count=0 seek=1G
I want to call this command, by using the command line and typing Generate or something to that effect.
Basically, I want to be able to build random size files, content isn't important to me at this time.
C :: System Call To Pause Execution Of Program For Few Seconds
Feb 2, 2014I know there has to be a system call to pause (not system("pause") execution of a program for a few seconds. I would like to give the illusion that my program is 'thinking' rather than just spit out the result as soon as the user has hit the enter key.

Dec 11, 2013I have written a program which uses a pid to check if the process is currently running and return a value based on the system call result.But the program core dumps
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h
int main( argc, argv )
int argc;
char * argv[];
{
int p_pid = 99;
char buff[1000];
}
[code]....
What is the mistake in this code and is it portable in both unix/linux , is the method secure (grepping for program name )?
C :: Assign System Call To Variable
Feb 22, 2014I have to ask system (linux) for a value and then assign it to the variable.
Example:
unsigned char date[] = system("date");
Of course this is wrong, but illustrated what is my goal.
How to achieve this effect ? I've heard about POSIX but how to include and use it.
C :: System Call For A Pause Function
Jan 20, 2014 I know there has to be a system call for a pause function. I simply want the program to pause for a few seconds before executing the next line of code. I do NOT want the user to enter a keypress, just pause the output or code execution for a few seconds.
system (pause); waits for keypress right? I just want it to wait 3 seconds before proceeding. I know it should take an argument for milliseconds right? Also, this is for a homework assignment I have already completed, just doll'in it up a bit for extra credit...maybe...

For example: "Word" -> 45(index 0) , 67(index 1) , 12(index 2). What could I start with to program this or where could I find a pre-made system that does this?

C :: Gzip System Linux - Program To Unite 2 Commands Into 1 Command
Sep 15, 2013I'm writing a program to turn the two commands "gunzip file.tar.gz" then "tar -xvf file.tar" into "x file.tar.gz", but I've ran into a problem I can't find a solution to, here are the outputs I get depending on if I use a gunzip -f flag in my system() call or not:
if I use: (void)system("gunzip ", store );
> x file.tar.gz
gzip: compressed data not read from a terminal. Use -f to force decompression.
type: gzip -h
store 1: file.tar.gz
tar: option requires an argument -- 'f'
[code]....
I don't know if the problem is something to do with my code or something to do with gunzip and if it is to do with gunzip if I can even solve it with my code? I've tried for a while to find more info and read the gunzip man file, ran "gunzip file.tar.gz" outside of my program and found that it works normally producing file.tar so I suspect the problem is related to system()?

C++ :: program Is Crashing When Trying To Call
Sep 5, 2013My program is crashing when I'm trying to call b = a. What has me confused is that when I call c = d = b, it all works fine.
I actually think I see it now that I posted this. In operator= I'm changing the size, but I'm not changing the size of the array that it's pointing to correct? I'm keeping it as 'p = new T[size]' rather than changing it to 'p = new T[x.size]' correct?

C :: Program Based On Menu System - Option To Go Back To A Previous Menu
Apr 7, 2014I'm creating a program that is based on a menu system. Basically each menu is its own user-defined function. The problem is at each menu you can input 'b' to go to the previous menu. I just have it call the function of that menu.
However, do the functions need to complete themselves eventually? If I just keep calling functions will I just keep going further and further deeper into ever running functions?
If so how do I avoid this and yet keep the option to go back to a previous menu/function?
