NAME

       function::system - Issue a command to the system

SYNOPSIS

           system(cmd:string)

ARGUMENTS

       cmd
           the command to issue to the system

DESCRIPTION

       This function runs a command on the system. The command is started in the background some time after the
       current probe completes. The command is run with the same UID as the user running the stap or staprun
       command. The runtime may impose a relatively short length limit on the command string. Exceeding it may
       print a warning.
