How to call a terminal emulator (bash) through a C program?

Question

linux

execlp("TerminalEmulator", "TerminalEmulator", argv[2], NULL);

- It doesn't work like that...

exo-open --launch TerminalEmulator- and this way you can call the terminal via the command line. But I need to call it from a C program!

Answer 1

It can be clumsy - through system (), while the parent process is suspended for the duration of the child.
You can more or less correctly - through fork () and exec (), then catch the return code through waitpid ()
