+<dt><em>Description</em>:</dt>
+<dd><p><code>EXECUTE_COMMAND_LINE</code> runs a shell command, synchronously or
+asynchronously.
+</p>
+<p>The <code>COMMAND</code> argument is passed to the shell and executed (The
+shell is <code>sh</code> on Unix systems, and <code>cmd.exe</code> on Windows.).
+If <code>WAIT</code> is present and has the value false, the execution of
+the command is asynchronous if the system supports it; otherwise, the
+command is executed synchronously using the C library&rsquo;s <code>system</code>
+call.
+</p>
+<p>The three last arguments allow the user to get status information. After
+synchronous execution, <code>EXITSTAT</code> contains the integer exit code of
+the command, as returned by <code>system</code>. <code>CMDSTAT</code> is set to zero
+if the command line was executed (whatever its exit status was).
+<code>CMDMSG</code> is assigned an error message if an error has occurred.
+</p>
+<p>Note that the <code>system</code> function need not be thread-safe. It is
+the responsibility of the user to ensure that <code>system</code> is not
+called concurrently.
+</p>
+<p>For asynchronous execution on supported targets, the POSIX
+<code>posix_spawn</code> or <code>fork</code> functions are used. Also, a signal
+handler for the <code>SIGCHLD</code> signal is installed.

+<dt><em>Note</em>:</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>Because this intrinsic is implemented in terms of the <code>system</code>
+function call, its behavior with respect to signaling is processor
+dependent. In particular, on POSIX-compliant systems, the SIGINT and
+SIGQUIT signals will be ignored, and the SIGCHLD will be blocked. As
+such, if the parent process is terminated, the child process might not be
+terminated alongside.
