Hello,

Is there a function in Linux which is equivalent to Shellexecute in Windows?

Thanks.

A function that will open the file like:

ShellExecute_(0, "", image.zip, "", "", #SW_SHOWNORMAL)

Is there something like that?

Open the directory, file, or URL name$ with its default application:

RunProgram("xdg-open", name$, "")
