explain_fputc_or_die - output of characters and report errors
SYNOPSIS
#include <libexplain/fputc.h>
void explain_fputc_or_die(int c, FILE *fp);
DESCRIPTION
The explain_fputc_or_die function is used to call the fputc(3) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained
from explain_fputc(3), and then the process terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).
This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example:
explain_fputc_or_die(c, fp);
c The c, exactly as to be passed to the fputc(3) system call.
fp The fp, exactly as to be passed to the fputc(3) system call.
Returns:
This function only returns on success. On failure, prints an explanation and exits.
SEE ALSO fputc(3)

SYNOPSIS
#include <libexplain/getc.h>
int explain_getc_or_die(FILE *fp);
DESCRIPTION

from explain_getc(3), and then the process terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).
This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example:
int c = explain_getc_or_die(fp);
fp The fp, exactly as to be passed to the getc(3) system call.
Returns:
This function only returns on success, and returns the next character or EOF at end of input. On failure, prints an explanation
and exits.

Hello all !
Could someone throw some light on whether there's a limit to the number of characters contained in the command string that is passed to the system() call in C.
Is it OS dependent? If yes, what are the limits for each?
Thanks. (4 Replies)
