This is completely dependent on the OS you have.
"Owners of dogs will have noticed that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they will think you are god. Whereas owners of cats are compelled to realize that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they draw the conclusion that they are gods."
-Christopher Hitchens
OS? What`s that?This is completely dependent on the OS you have.

You can use ' system( )' to make any call to your operating system.
system("pause") and system("cls") seem to be the most popular uses... although, keep in mind that such casual use of the system( ) function is highly discouraged.
check the FAQ for better alternatives... under "How do I clear the screen.. " and "How do I make my program wait for a keypress"
also, remember that system( ) is operating system independant.
A forum search will reveal a multitude of threads on this subject.

Hey brain, thats chinese sign for dragon right?
Operating System....Originally Posted by darealnash
system() is used to envoke another executable from within your program or issue a system command to your OS... listen to the Brain above, he comes bearing valuable content
Basically, whatever you feel like typing on the command line
c:\> dir
c:\> type file.txt
Of course, if your command line is Unix, you have a much more powerful command line to play with.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
Yep.. chinese symbol for dragon.. i'm thinkin' it would be a cool tatoo or something
