[Techtalk] wrapping unix commands

[overhaul]

Hello!

I'm in a bit of a pinch.   I have limited C knowledge but have been told 
it's quite simple to write a C wrapper around unix commands.   I have a 
need now to create a few wrappers for commands that kernel will not 
allow any non-root user to run ... such as pciconf.

I have scoured the net but either the info doesn't exist (doubtful) or 
I'm not looking in the right places.

Does anybody have a clue how to write a C wrapper?

thanks!!
