int system3 ( char *cmd )

char *cmd;    // command to execute

Synopsis

#include "silver.h"

The system3 function is identical to system1 , except that text mode is not invoked and the screen is not saved before the command is executed; and graphics mode is not restored on return from command. This function should be only used when invoking programs which do not produce screen output, as in console applications with standard output redirected to a file or device.

Parameters

cmd is a null-terminated string containing the command to be executed.

Return Value

See the entry for system1 for a description of the values returned by system2 .

Comments

This function is implemented by creation of a hidden window.
