Can anyone help with the below code. I am trying to execute Shell script with arguments in C program but it is giving errors.
One more thing - you call return system() in for(). return will terminate main() immediately so you won't have your script executed argc times. I'd suggest to save the return value of system in new variable and examine it if you need error checking.

Hello,
I have a c program executable which I need to run inside a shell script.
But the c program runs in a subshell because of which all the actions done by the c program is not available to the current shell.
Is there any way to execute a C program binary executable in the current shell? (4 Replies)

execle
execl(3) Library Functions Manual execl(3)Name
execl, execv, execle, execlp, execvp, exect, environ - execute a file
Syntax
execl(name, arg0, arg1, ..., argn, (char *)0)
char *name, *arg0, *arg1, ..., *argn;
execv(name, argv)
char *name, *argv[];
execle(name, arg0, arg1, ..., argn, (char *)0, envp)
char *name, *arg0, *arg1, ..., *argn, *envp[];
execlp(file, arg0, arg1, ..., argn, (char *)0)
char *file, *arg0, *arg1, ..., *argn;
execvp(file,argv)
char *file, *argv[];
exect(name, argv, envp)
char *name, *argv[], *envp[];
extern char **environ;
Description
These routines provide various interfaces to the system call. Refer to for a description of their properties; only brief descriptions are
provided here.
In all their forms, these calls overlay the calling process with the named file, then transfer to the entry point of the core image of the
file. There can be no return from a successful exec. The calling core image is lost.
The name argument is a pointer to the name of the file to be executed. The pointers arg[0], arg[1] ... address null-terminated strings.
Conventionally arg[0] is the name of the file.
Two interfaces are available. is useful when a known file with known arguments is being called; the arguments to are the character strings
constituting the file and the arguments; the first argument is conventionally the same as the file name (or its last component). A 0 argu-
ment must end the argument list.
The version is useful when the number of arguments is unknown in advance. The arguments to are the name of the file to be executed and a
vector of strings containing the arguments. The last argument string must be followed by a 0 pointer.
The version is used when the executed file is to be manipulated with The program is forced to single step a single instruction giving the
parent an opportunity to manipulate its state. On VAX-11 machines, this is done by setting the trace bit in the process status longword.
When a C program is executed, it is called as follows:
main(argc, argv, envp)
int argc;
char **argv, **envp;
where argc is the argument count and argv is an array of character pointers to the arguments themselves. As indicated, argc is convention-
ally at least one and the first member of the array points to a string containing the name of the file.
The argv is directly usable in another because argv[argc] is 0.
The envp is a pointer to an array of strings that constitute the environment of the process. Each string consists of a name, an "=", and a
null-terminated value. The array of pointers is terminated by a null pointer. The shell passes an environment entry for each global shell
variable defined when the program is called. See for some conventionally used names. The C run-time start-off routine places a copy of
envp in the global cell which is used by and to pass the environment to any subprograms executed by the current program.
The and routines are called with the same arguments as and but duplicate the shell's actions in searching for an executable file in a list
of directories. The directory list is obtained from the environment.
Restrictions
If is called to execute a file that turns out to be a shell command file, and if it is impossible to execute the shell, the values of
argv[0] and argv[-1] will be modified before return.
Diagnostics
If the file cannot be found, if it is not executable, if it does not start with a valid magic number if maximum memory is exceeded, or if
the arguments require too much space, a return constitutes the diagnostic; the return value is -1. For further information, see Even for
the super-user, at least one of the execute-permission bits must be set for a file to be executed.
