Chapter 16: Software Development
Once you create an executable, you run it the way you do a normal UNIX command, that is by typing its name followed by appropriate options or parameters.
You must be aware that if you have not included "dot" (.) in your path, whenever your executable is in a directory not explicitly included in your path, you will need to prefix the executable name with ./ to run it. This was also mentioned in section 9.2 under PATH.
