The unix__system function does just that. The "unix" library is in
contrib/libunix in the distribution. Once installed, it can be linked
with a standalone application as follows:

        camlc -custom -o <applname> unix.zo <appl .zo files> -lunix

For interactive use of the functions provided by this library, first
build a "custom toplevel":

        camlmktop -custom -o camlunix unix.zo -lunix

then launch it with:

        camllight camlunix
