Execute a shell command specified by @var{string}.

If the optional argument @var{type} is @qcode{"async"}, the process is
started in the background and the process ID of the child process is
returned immediately.  Otherwise, the child process is started and Octave
waits until it exits.  If the @var{type} argument is omitted, it defaults to
the value @qcode{"sync"}.

If @var{system} is called with one or more output arguments, or if the
optional argument @var{return_output} is true and the subprocess is started
synchronously, then the output from the command is returned as a variable.
Otherwise, if the subprocess is executed synchronously, its output is sent
to the standard output.  To send the output of a command executed with
@code{system} through the pager, use a command like

@example
@group
[~, text] = system ("cmd");
disp (text);
@end group
@end example

@noindent
or

@example
printf ("%s\n", nthargout (2, "system", "cmd"));
@end example

The @code{system} function can return two values.  The first is the
exit status of the command and the second is any output from the
command that was written to the standard output stream.  For example,

@example
[status, output] = system ("echo foo; exit 2");
@end example

@noindent
will set the variable @code{output} to the string @samp{foo}, and the
variable @code{status} to the integer @samp{2}.

For commands run asynchronously, @var{status} is the process id of the
command shell that is started to run the command.
