Re: [Swarm-Support] system calls question

[Russell Standish]

mkdir() and chdir() are standard posix calls, so should work the same
way on all posix systems, or under Cygwin. For cp, you could possibly
get away with system("cp ... "), but this relies on there being a "cp"
program in your path. Alternative, you can code your own - its about 5
lines of C code:

FILE* in=fopen("",r), out=fopen("",w);
char *buf[SZ]; int sz;
while ((sz=fread(buf,SZ,1,in))==SZ) fwrite(buf,sz,1,out);
fwrite(buf,sz,1,out);
fclose(in); fclose(out);

                                                Cheers
