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)

siginterrupt
siginterrupt(3C) Standard C Library Functions siginterrupt(3C)NAME
siginterrupt - allow signals to interrupt functions
SYNOPSIS
#include <signal.h>
int siginterrupt(int sig, int flag);
DESCRIPTION
The siginterrupt() function changes the restart behavior when a function is interrupted by the specified signal. The function siginter-
rupt(sig, flag) has an effect as if implemented as:
siginterrupt(int sig, int flag) {
int ret;
struct sigaction act;
(void) sigaction(sig, NULL, &act);
if (flag)
act.sa_flags &= SA_RESTART;
else
act.sa_flags |= SA_RESTART;
ret = sigaction(sig, &act, NULL);
return ret;
}
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, siginterrupt() returns 0. Otherwise, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The siginterrupt() function will fail if:
EINVAL The sig argument is not a valid signal number.
USAGE
The siginterrupt() function supports programs written to historical system interfaces. A standard-conforming application, when being writ-
ten or rewritten, should use sigaction(2) with the SA_RESTART flag instead of siginterrupt().
