(lispkit system os)
Library
(lispkit system os) currently defines a single procedure system-call for invoking external binaries as a sub-process of the LispKit interpreter. This library is operating system specific and requires careful usage in portable code.(system-call path args) 
(system-call path args env)
(system-call path args env port)
(system-call path args env port input)
Executes the binary at path passing the string representation of the elements of list args as command-line arguments. env is an association list defining environment variables. Both keys and values are strings. The output generated by executing the binary is directed towards port, which is a textual output port. The default for port corresponds to
current-output-port, a parameter object defined by library (lispkit port). Providing #f as port will send the output to /dev/null. input is an optional string which can be used to pipe data into the binary as input. The current implementation is not able to handle interactive binaries. system-call returns the result code for executing the binary (0 refers to a regular exit).> (system-call "/bin/ls" '(-a -l))
