variables - C: Anyway to load parameters into a system() call

Question

Is it possible to put arguments in a systems call?

something like

system("rm %s %s", string1, string2)

Answer 1

The prototype for the system function is:

int system(const char *command);

so, no. But, how about:

snprintf(buffer, sizeof(buffer), "rm %s %s", target1, target2);
system(buffer);
