C has the system function, and if running on a POSIX/etc. environment,
the fork and exec* functions. Why write in C what has already been written
a multitude of times if you can simply offload the work onto another
process?
What you want to do can almost certainly be done in a few lines of Perl,
so have you considered using other languages instead?
