Hello,
Im not sure, what you exactly mean with current directory, but is
something like this, what yousearch for?

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
char tmp[20];
sprintf(tmp, "ls -al");
system(tmp);

return 0;
}

Hello

(from c program) ?

Sorry, acutally you don't need sprintf.
system("ls -al"); does it as well.
I used sprintf because i always had to combine some strings in one order.

By using unix-specific function calls. You'd need to ask in a unix
programming group about that, as ISO C doesn't support any specific
platform
