system() in general is incorrect, there are much better ways to run other programs, like posix_spawn, fork+exec, libpipeline etc.

For a non-constant argument, sure, but I was talking about the malformed string literal.

Even for a constant argument; it is better to just start the program than to start the shell and tell it to start the program like system() does.

Ack about the string literal.
