3.29 system
‘system "command"‘ executes "command" using the standard shell. See shell. If called as a function, ‘system("command")‘ returns the resulting character stream from stdout as a string. One optional trailing newline is ignored.
This can be used to import external functions into gnuplot scripts:
f(x) = real(system(sprintf("somecommand %f", x)))
