Where do we use System header file

In Cpp there's a header file named as System, but can you tell me where and why we use this header file, what is the main function of this file

Most commonly used system commands (for Windows OS) are: system("pause"); // to pause console screen system("CLS"); // to clear console screen system("color XX"); // to set console screen foreground and background color and more which you can find online. :>

The <system.h> header file is a non-standard header provided only by Borland. If you want to use system() function, use <cstdlib>
