module System.Cmd ( system, -- :: String -> IO ExitCode ) where import Prelude import Hugs.System -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- system {-| Computation @system cmd@ returns the exit code produced when the operating system processes the command @cmd@. This computation may fail with * @PermissionDenied@: The process has insufficient privileges to perform the operation. * @ResourceExhausted@: Insufficient resources are available to perform the operation. * @UnsupportedOperation@: The implementation does not support system calls. On Windows, 'system' is implemented using Windows's native system call, which ignores the @SHELL@ environment variable, and always passes the command to the Windows command interpreter (@CMD.EXE@ or @COMMAND.COM@), hence Unixy shell tricks will not work. -}
