application return value

Hello,
I run the user application from another user application, by call:
system("/root/myapplication").

How can I know, what is the return value of the "/root/myapplication"?
May be, I should use another call instead of "system"?

Thank you.

it's returned by system:
printf ("%d\n", system("echo hello, world"));
