Bash Dependency?

Simple question: I am wondering... If I make a C programme and I include in it the line system("clear"); (and yes, I know this is poor practice), is bash then a dependency of the application?

Re: Bash Dependency?

No: system() calls /bin/sh. If a Linux system doesn't have a working /bin/sh, it almost certainly can't even boot.
