shell-command

Run a program and collect its output.  Alt-!

This command prompts for the name of an external program to run. Any output it produces goes to a buffer named "filter-output". With a negative prefix argument, it prompts for the name of a destination buffer instead. The program runs asynchronously.

With a non-negative numeric prefix argument, the program runs synchronously, and the output is inserted into the current buffer.
