A Rust binding to OpenBSD's pledge(2) interface.

## Usage

/* Rust 2015 only */ #[macro_use] extern crate pledge;
/* Rust 2018 only */ use pledge::{pledge, pledge_promises, pledge_execpromises};

fn foo() {
// make both promises and execpromises
pledge![Stdio Proc Exec, Stdio Tty].unwrap();

// make promises only
pledge_promises![Stdio Exec].unwrap();

// make execpromises only
pledge_execpromises![Stdio].unwrap();
}

This is roughly equivalent to:

/* Rust 2015 only */ extern crate pledge;
use pledge::{pledge, Promise, ToPromiseString};

fn foo() {
// make both promises and execpromises
let promises = vec![Promise::Stdio, Promise::Proc, Promise::Exec];
let execpromises = vec![Promise::Stdio, Promise::Tty];
pledge(&*promises.to_promise_string(), &*execpromises.to_promise_string()).unwrap();

// make promises only
let promises = vec![Promise::Stdio, Promise::Exec];
pledge(&*promises.to_promise_string(), None).unwrap();

// make execpromises only
let execpromises = vec![Promise::Stdio];
pledge(None, &*execpromises.to_promise_string()).unwrap();
}

You may also provide promises directly as a string:

/* Rust 2015 only */ extern crate pledge;
use pledge::pledge;

fn foo() {
// make both promises and execpromises
pledge("stdio proc exec", "stdio tty").unwrap();

// make promises only
pledge("stdio exec", None).unwrap();

// make execpromises only
pledge(None, "stdio").unwrap();
}

All of these will yield `pledge::Error::UnsupportedPlatform` on platforms that
don’t support pledge(2). You can use `pledge::Error::ignore_platform` to ignore
that variant and make your program portable to those platforms:

/* Rust 2015 only */ extern crate pledge;
/* Rust 2018 only */ use pledge::pledge_promises;

fn foo() {
...

pledge_promises![Stdio Exec]
.or_else(pledge::Error::ignore_platform)
.unwrap();

...
}

## Compatibility

This version of the crate is compatible with the [OpenBSD 6.3+ interface], where
the second parameter restricts the privileges of the process after execve(2),
and guaranteed to be compatible with Rust 1.24.0+ (as shipped by OpenBSD 6.3).

Use version `^0.3` for the [OpenBSD 5.9+ interface] last supported by [Bitrig],
where the second parameter sets a whitelist of permitted paths.

To migrate your code from older versions:

* change `pledge![P, Q, R]` call sites to `pledge_promises![P Q R]`
* change `pledge("p q r")` call sites to `pledge("p q r", None)`
* change `pledge_with_paths(promises, paths)` to `pledge(promises)`
* update usage of renamed `Promise` variants (e.g. `MCast` → `Mcast`)
* consider making execpromises to restrict processes after execve(2)
* consider using [unveil(2)] and the [unveil crate] (OpenBSD 6.4+)
