Re: Executing command line options
Hi Safia,
I think you will have to prepare a string of the unix command first and then pass this string to the system function. This string manipulation should take care of the "-" sign. I think you can also try ftok.
Hope this hints you to the solution.

libcadmin
libcadmin(1M) libcadmin(1M)
NAME
libcadmin - libc administration command
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/libcadmin
DESCRIPTION
The command is used to perform administrative functions for Currently the only function that the command performs is to replace the shared
32-bit PA-RISC2.0 library in with the shared 32-bit PA-RISC1.1 version of that library.
There are no required arguments or options used with this command. The archive library and the symbolic link are unaffected by the com-
mand.
During the system installation process, the shared 32-bit PA-RISC1.1 library is copied into This library is the same as the PA-RISC2.0
library except that it was built with different compiler options. The PA-RISC2.0 library provides much higher performance than the PA-
RISC1.1 library. However, if the system administrator desires to have the PA-RISC1.1 library installed instead, allows the system adminis-
trator to accomplish this task. When is executed, the PA-RISC2.0 library is stored in and the PA-RISC1.1 library is copied into
It is recommended that the system be re-booted after executing the command so that applications which are linked shared against will use
the shared 32-bit PA-RISC1.1 version of that library.
Once the command is executed, the only way to put the PA-RISC2.0 library back in place is to re-install the operating system.
The command can only be executed by a user with superuser privileges.
DIAGNOSTICS
Multiple executions of the command will result in an error message indicating the PA-RISC1.1 library is already installed.
Executing this command on a PA-RISC1.1 machine will result in an error message indicating the PA-RISC1.1 library is already installed.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, returns zero(0). Otherwise a one(1) is returned.
WARNINGS
Since HP stopped shipping the PA1.1 version of beginning with HP-UX 11i Version 2, this command is currently nonfunctional. is planned for
obsolescence at a future release.
