How to get exit value of an executable that gets called from function?

I have an executable called “myexec” which returns 0 on success and different values for different fail scenarios.

I need to call this (myexec) executable from “myprog()” function of other executable and get the exit value (return value) of it. I tried with “system()” call but it doesn't returns the exit-value of “myexec”.

Is there any other way to solve my problem??

Thanks in advance,

Regards,
SureshReddi.
