Packaging simexec.c
License
Simexec is Public Domain so there are basically no barriers when it comes to licensing. And if you somehow violate my already-forfeited copyright, I promise I won't sue you.
Files
Simexec is a single C file (simexec.c) that builds to a single executable,
which should be named simexec and placed in a user-accessible binaries
directory. A Makefile is provided as courtesy but isn't really necessary.
The src/simexec directory can be moved to a system sources directory if you
wish to keep the source on hand; it doesn't reference anything else in the
repository.
The included manual page, simexec.1 can be placed in the appropriate manual
pages directory. If it displays weirdly feel free to e-mail me and I'll attempt
to fix it.
Compilation
On systems that provide <sysexits.h>, the following is all that's needed:
cc -o simexec simexec.c
If you're not sure whether your system provides <sysexits.h>, try it and see.
If it doesn't work, compile simexec.c with the following:
cc -DEX_USAGE=1 -o simexec simexec.c
Other than <sysexits.h> simexec(1) only relies on headers found in the C
standard library. Outside of POSIX environments simexec.c probably won't work
but it wouldn't be of much use anyway.
