os.ni

The os module returns a Module object. All documented functions are part of this returned object.

To use: import 'std/os'

system(cmd: string[, args: array]): array|error|nil

system will execute cmd with arguments args. args must be an array of strings. The returned array contains the standard output at index 0 and standard error at index 1 of the executed command. An error object is returned if the command failed to execute.

exec(cmd: string[, args: array]): error|nil

exec like system will will execute a system command. However exec will link up the standard input, output, and error of the interpreter to the command. This allows a script to give control to a user for interactive commands. An error object is returned if the command failed to execute, nil otherwise.

argv(): array

argv returns an array of command line arguments used when executing the application.

env(): map

env returns a hashmap of the environment variables.
