Shell — Command Execution Utilities
Execute shell commands and capture their output from Quartz programs.
Usage
import * from shell
var output = shell_capture("ls -la")
var code = shell_exit("gcc --version > /dev/null 2>&1")
var ok = shell_ok("which qemu-system-aarch64")@since Quartz 5.15.0 Run a shell command and capture its stdout as a String. Returns the full stdout output. Newlines are preserved.
Example: var files = shell_capture(“ls *.qz”) var version = shell_capture(“quartz —version”)
shell_exit(): Int (std/shell.qz:40)
Run a shell command and return its exit code. Unlike system(), this returns the properly decoded exit code (0-255).
shell_ok(): Int (std/shell.qz:54)
Check if a shell command succeeds (exit code 0). Useful for probing tool availability: if shell_ok(“which qemu-system-aarch64”) # QEMU is available end
