//! Birdcage sandbox.
//!
//! This crate provides a cross-platform API for an embedded sandbox for macOS
//! and Linux.
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```rust
//! use std::fs;
//!
//! use birdcage::process::Command;
//! use birdcage::{Birdcage, Exception, Sandbox};
//!
//! // Reads without sandbox work.
//! fs::read_to_string("./Cargo.toml").unwrap();
//!
//! // Allow access to our test executable.
//! let mut sandbox = Birdcage::new();
//! sandbox.add_exception(Exception::ExecuteAndRead("/bin/cat".into())).unwrap();
//! let _ = sandbox.add_exception(Exception::ExecuteAndRead("/lib64".into()));
//! let _ = sandbox.add_exception(Exception::ExecuteAndRead("/lib".into()));
//!
//! // Initialize the sandbox; by default everything is prohibited.
//! let mut command = Command::new("/bin/cat");
//! command.arg("./Cargo.toml");
//! let mut child = sandbox.spawn(command).unwrap();
//!
//! // Reads with sandbox should fail.
//! let status = child.wait().unwrap();
//! assert!(!status.success());
//! ```
