Basically be able to execute BASH commands directly from a Haiku developed app. I figure it has to be pretty straightforward, but wasn't sure where to look and thought someone might be able to point me to the right place.
1. I want to learn how to shell out with a Haiku app using some
Shell-like class I may not be aware of yet
"Shell out"? I'm not sure what you mean here. Shell as in "Terminal", or ... ?
2. I want to learn how to take advantage of the database-like nature
of Haiku-FS to develop an app needing to access files by logical
storing and querying much like how the Mail application handles
storing and retrieving emails or the People app handles storing
contacts, etc...
I know about the very old collection of sample code that Be Inc. made
available for BeOS developers and wasn't sure if that is a good resource or
not.
It is. There's also the Haiku API Examples
(https://github.com/drcouzelis/HaikuApiExamples), or Haiku's source
code to look at.
