NAME
FiboSandbox -
SYNOPSIS
FiboSandbox [<options>] -- <program> [<command-parameters...>]
DESCRIPTION
Run the program in a protected sandbox, as a restricted user.
OPTIONS
--terse
Enable terse messages.
--debug
Enable debug messages.
-h, --help
Show this help.
--version
Show program version.
-v, --verbose
Enable verbose mode.
--logfile <entry>
Log all output to specified file.
-o, --original
Restore original owners.
-r, --restore <entry>
Restore ownership to <entry>.
-d, --directory <entry>
The program should be run at <entry>. This path should be either absolute, or relative to the sandbox root.
-s, --sandbox <entry>[:<entry>...]
Colon-separated list of areas where the restricted user has write access to. The default value is '.'.
-m, --map <entry>[:<entry>...]
Colon-separated mapping (lhs=rhs) where writes to rhs are mapped to lhs.
Notes:
To allow mobility within the sandbox, the '.' directory is mounted at a sandbox root (like /Data/Vari‐
able/tmp/.FiboSandbox31823). For this reason, use of relative paths like '..' to reach directories higher in the
hierarchy than '.' may produce unexpected results. It may also confuse symbolic links that flow through the sandbox.

NAME
install - copy files and set attributes
SYNOPSIS
install [OPTION]... [-T] SOURCE DEST
install [OPTION]... SOURCE... DIRECTORY
install [OPTION]... -t DIRECTORY SOURCE...
install [OPTION]... -d DIRECTORY...
DESCRIPTION
This install program copies files (often just compiled) into destination locations you choose. If you want to down‐
load and install a ready-to-use package on a GNU/Linux system, you should instead be using a package manager like
yum(1) or apt-get(1).
In the first three forms, copy SOURCE to DEST or multiple SOURCE(s) to the existing DIRECTORY, while setting permis‐
sion modes and owner/group. In the 4th form, create all components of the given DIRECTORY(ies).
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
--backup[=CONTROL]
make a backup of each existing destination file
-b like --backup but does not accept an argument
-c (ignored)
-C, --compare
compare each pair of source and destination files, and in some cases, do not modify the destination at all
-d, --directory
treat all arguments as directory names; create all components of the specified directories
-D create all leading components of DEST except the last, or all components of --target-directory, then copy
SOURCE to DEST
-g, --group=GROUP
set group ownership, instead of process' current group
-m, --mode=MODE
set permission mode (as in chmod), instead of rwxr-xr-x
-o, --owner=OWNER
set ownership (super-user only)
-p, --preserve-timestamps
apply access/modification times of SOURCE files to corresponding destination files
-s, --strip
strip symbol tables
--strip-program=PROGRAM
program used to strip binaries
-S, --suffix=SUFFIX
override the usual backup suffix
-t, --target-directory=DIRECTORY
copy all SOURCE arguments into DIRECTORY
-T, --no-target-directory
treat DEST as a normal file
-v, --verbose
print the name of each directory as it is created
--preserve-context
preserve SELinux security context
-Z set SELinux security context of destination file to default type
--context[=CTX]
like -Z, or if CTX is specified then set the SELinux or SMACK security context to CTX
--help display this help and exit
--version
output version information and exit
The backup suffix is '~', unless set with --suffix or SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX. The version control method may be
selected via the --backup option or through the VERSION_CONTROL environment variable. Here are the values:
none, off
never make backups (even if --backup is given)
numbered, t
make numbered backups
existing, nil
numbered if numbered backups exist, simple otherwise
simple, never
always make simple backups

Enhanced process killing utility.
OPTIONS
--terse
Enable terse messages.
--debug
Enable debug messages.
-h, --help
Show this help.
--version
Show program version.
-v, --verbose
Enable verbose mode.
--logfile <entry>
Log all output to specified file.
-i, --interactive
Ask for confirmation before killing a process.
-d, --display
Informative output only. Do not actually kill any process.
-n, --name
Kill processes by name. This is similar to killall, but names are matched to regular expressions passed as
additional parameters to KillProcess. This is the default behavior if no other mode switches are passed.

Notes:
Be mindful that when matching processes by name, you are actually searching for a match in any part of the
entire process command line. For example, entering 'ion' as a pattern would also match 'evolution'. Further‐
more, even parameters may match: a search for 'lpd' would also kill 'kwrite helpdocument.txt'.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
list - Create a list
SYNOPSIS
list ?arg arg ...?
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
This command returns a list comprised of all the args, or an empty string if no args are specified. Braces and back‐
slashes get added as necessary, so that the lindex command may be used on the result to re-extract the original argu‐
ments, and also so that eval may be used to execute the resulting list, with arg1 comprising the command's name and
the other args comprising its arguments. List produces slightly different results than concat: concat removes one
level of grouping before forming the list, while list works directly from the original arguments.
EXAMPLE
The command
list a b "c d e " " f {g h}"
will return
a b {c d e } { f {g h}}
while concat with the same arguments will return
a b c d e f {g h}
