Native Rust crate for managing control groups on Linux

//! This module contains the implementation of the `freezer` cgroup subsystem.

//! See the Kernel's documentation for more information about this subsystem, found at:

/// A controller that allows controlling the `freezer` subsystem of a Cgroup.
///
/// In essence, this subsystem allows the user to freeze and thaw (== "un-freeze") the processes in
/// the control group. This is done _transparently_ so that neither the parent, nor the children of
/// the processes can observe the freeze.
///
/// Note that if the control group is currently in the `Frozen` or `Freezing` state, then no
/// processes can be added to it.
