Subject: system() or pipe(..., open = "r") without child process?
Greetings
On linux, is it possible to invoke an OS command from within R without
spawning a child process? If not, is it possible to avoid copying the
"parts of the caller's context" that are mentioned on the clone manpage?
?ENOMEM Cannot? allocate? sufficient memory to allocate a task structure
????????????? for the child, or to copy those parts of? the caller's?
context
????????????? that need to be copied.
(I am trying to avoid that ENOMEM condition when calling system(),
pipe(), etc).
Regards,
Ben
