This is the readme file for the small "launch" library.

PURPOSE
-------
This library contains functions to start (via fork/exec) and stop external
programs.

BUILDING THE LIBRARY
--------------------
Invoking the "make" command gives you a list of all possible options.

The usual invocation for a system-wide installation of the library would be
to do "make all", "make test", login as root, and then do a "make install".

Alternatively you can embed the library in your own program, by sticking it
into a subdirectory, and invoking "make static" there.

USING THE LIBRARY
-----------------
See the manual pages launch_program.3 and kill_program.3 on how to use the
functions.
