NEWNS(2)NEWNS(2)NAME
Newns: newns, newuser - build a new name space from a description file
SYNOPSIS
include "newns.m";
ns := load Newns Newns->PATH;
newns: fn(user: string, nsfile: string): string;
newuser: fn(user: string, cap: string, nsfile: string): string;
DESCRIPTION
Newns reads file nsfile and builds a new name space based on the com‐
mands it contains. The file has the format defined by namespace(6).
If nsfile is nil or empty, then newns attempts to read file the file
namespace.
Newuser uses a capability cap suitable for cap(3) to change the current
process's user name to user, and uses newns and nsfile to build it a
new name space. The capability is typically obtained via factotum(4).
