system_open
| Definition: | system_open(string filename) |
| Description: | Opens a file in the same manner as would happen were it double-clicked in the standard file manager (such as Windows Explorer or Ubuntu nautilus). |
| pwa/p2js: | Not supported. |
| Comments: |
On Windows this invokes ShellExecute() with the "open" verb, whereas on Linux it invokes system("xdg_open "&filename).
Note this routine has no known equivalent on Euphoria, though creating a compatible routine should be perfectly feasible. There is no indication of success or failure, or any other result code. |
| Example 1: |
system_open("into_the_light.mp3")
|
| Implementation: | See builtins\syswait.ew (an autoinclude) for details of the actual implementation. |
