# pipe_exec

Execute ELF binaries from pipes & and terminals. This makes it possible to

execute binaries that are not stored in a file system or for

which the execute permission is not set and to run binaries

directly from stdin; e.g. when piping gcc output or when

downloading them via SSH.

It works by allocating an in-memory file via the

memfd_create(2) syscall, copying all data from the

executable there and finally executing it using the

fexecve(3) syscall.

pipe_exec will first try to execute the file in place; e.g.

`pexec
