Windows - Where can I find a system() list of parameters?

This is my first question here in StackOverflow, so if this question has already been made or is in the wrong topic, please excuse me.

I'm studying C using Windows and I'm looking for a list/book/manual of usable parameters for the system() function. Stuff like system("pause"), system("cls"), system("color 1f"), etc...

Thanks for the help in advance.

Solution

  • The purpose of system() API is to execute an external command, the parameters are the arguments of the command that you are trying to execute, just like if you were typed in shell prompt, there is not anything special to pass, just put into the string.
