Executable return values

[Axter]

How can I start a process?

FYI:
It's strange that the above list of methods seems to exclude the most obvious.

It's excluding the system() function, which is the only C/C++ method defined in the C/C++ standard.

Although _exec and _spawn are in the C run-time library for the VC++ compiler, these two functions are not part of the C/C++ standard. IMHO, the FAQ might lead a newbie to believe that it is part of the C/C++ standard.

I recommend updating the above FAQ to add the system() function, and to clarify that _exec and _spawn are not part of the C/C++ standard.
