A simple, cross-platform sandboxing C library powering [Criterion][criterion].

**Warning**: This library is experimental. APIs may change without notice until Beta is hit. Use at your own risk.

BoxFort provides a simple API to run user code in isolated processes.

Although BoxFort provides some kind of security of the parent process

from spawned sandboxes, a sandbox has by default the same system

permissions and access than its parent, and is hence, without care,

ill-fitted for security purposes.

The main goal of this project **is not** security, but portable code

isolation -- if you want complete system isolation, consider using

properly configured containers.
