The are various ways to do this but the simplest is to use the function system() which has a single parameter, a command line exactly as typed at a terminal:

    system("dir *.c");                                         /* call system */
    printf("parent program resumed");
 

The parent process is suspended and the command line dir *.c is passed to the system which, assuming all is well, executes the dir command. When it finishes the parent process resumes.
