@@ -1514,11 +1514,19 @@ Execute the command (a string) in a subshell. This is implemented by
calling the Standard C function
\cfunction
{
system()
}
, and has the
same limitations. Changes to
\code
{
posix.environ
}
,
\code
{
sys.stdin
}
,
etc.

are not reflected in the environment of the executed command.
The return value is the exit status of the process encoded in the
format specified for
\function
{
wait()
}
, except on Windows 95 and 98,
where it is always
\code
{
0
}
. Note that
\POSIX
{}
does not specify the
meaning of the return value of the C
\cfunction
{
system()
}
function,
so the return value of the Python function is system-dependent.
On
\UNIX
the return value is the exit status of the process encoded in the

\POSIX

On Windows the return value is that returned by the system shell after
running

\code
{
COMSPEC

\code

command.com

this is always
\code
{
0
}
; on
\code
{
cmd.exe
}
systems (Windows NT, 2000
and XP) this is the exit status of the command run; on systems using
a non-native shell, consult your shell documentation.
