/* mnexec: execution utility for mininet
 *
 * Starts up programs and does things that are slow or
 * difficult in Python, including:
 *
 *  - closing all file descriptors except stdin/out/error
 *  - detaching from a controlling tty using setsid
 *  - running in a network namespace
 *  - printing out the pid of a process so we can identify it later
 *  - attaching to a namespace and cgroup
 *  - setting RT scheduling
 *
 * Partially based on public domain setsid(1)
