System

system "command" executes "command" using the standard shell. See shell (p. [*]). If called as a function, system("command") returns the resulting character stream from stdout as a string. One optional trailing newline is ignored.

This can be used to import external functions into gnuplot scripts:

     f(x) = real(system(sprintf("somecommand %f", x)))
