    Sys-call*

    Make a system call to the host OS, returning a status

    See sys-call+ for a closely related utility. There are only the following two differences between between sys-call* and sys-call+.

    • Both return an error-triple (mv erp val state), but for sys-call*, val is always nil after printing as a side effect like sys-call. (For sys-call+, val is the string produced as output by the command.)
    • Logically, sys-call* pops the oracle once, not twice.
