* system(3): Clarify return valuesDag-Erling Smørgrav2026-03-041-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Our manual page currently states that system() will return 127 if it fails to execute the shell. The actual return value is, to quote POSIX, “as if the command language interpreter had terminated using exit(127) or _exit(127)”. MFC after: 1 week Sponsored by: Klara, Inc.

Use Posix-style signal handling instead of signal(). 4. Use fork() instead of deprecated vfork(). 5. Block signals before fork()'ing, instead of after. 6. Return -1 if fork() fails, instead of 0. 7. Add EINTR handling for waitpid() call. Also add claim of Posix conformance to man page. Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=16117
