Is there a Win32 API function that does the same thing as system() in a similarly simple way? In the specific console program I’m creating, I’d like to limit as much as possible to the Windows libraries.

Answer 1

You can just use system().

The system function finds the command interpreter, which is typically CMD.EXE in the Windows NT operating system or COMMAND.COM in Windows. The system function then passes the argument string to the command interpreter.
