Interfacing C and UNIX in SunView?

I'm writing a C program in the SunView 4.0 environment. My
program will, eventually, open up in its own window (using a SunView function)
and do some stuff (like manipulate files). I want my C program to be able to
to execute simple UNIX command sequences from inside its SunView window to
make my programming job much easier -- like "lpr -<printer> <file>",
"rm <file>", etc. so that I don't have to write equivalents in C. Speed is
not a factor, but the fact that the program uses the shell (or it opens a new
window and uses its shell) should be hidden as much as possible. Is this
possible? Or should I look into file manipulation in the SunView programmers
guide? Is interfacing C and UNIX independant of the environment (SunView) I
work in?
Thanks,
Jason Freund
