SPEXEC(8)
NAME
spexec - run commands for macros
SYNOPSIS
spexec options
DESCRIPTION
Spexec runs commands for macros under the identity of the invoking
user. This is required because gspl-pq(1) gspl-xpq(1) gspl-xmpq(1) are
set-user programs (to other than "root") and there is an inherent
security breach in many versions of Unix in that such programs cannot
divest themselves of traces of the set-user user id.
This program is only intended for internal use and is not further
documented.
