  debug = FALSE,
  intern = FALSE,
  ignore.stdout = FALSE,
  ignore.stderr = FALSE,

  input = NULL
)

Arguments

...	one or more arguments of type string, which can be concatenated using the paste function (e.g. 'ls','-lrt','/bin').
sep	character used to seperate the terms. Used in the paste function.
debug	print command before execution.
intern	a logical (not 'NA') which indicates whether to capture the output of the command as an R character vector (parameter to system function).
ignore.stdout, ignore.stderr	a logical (not 'NA') indicating whether messages written to 'stdout' or 'stderr' should be ignored (parameter to system function).
wait	a logical (not 'NA') indicating whether the R interpreter should wait for the command to finish, or run it asynchronously. This will be ignored (and the interpreter will always wait) if 'intern = TRUE' (parameter to system function).
input	if a character vector is supplied, this is copied one string per line to a temporary file, and the standard input of 'command' is redirected to the file (parameter to system function).
