| // Package exec implements configuration and secret-sharing between parent and |
| // child processes via anoymous pipes. Anonymous pipes are used since they are |
| // the most secure communication channel available. |
| // |
| // Once a parent starts a child process it can use WaitForReady to wait for the |
| // child to reach its 'Ready' state. Operations are provided to wait for the |
| // child to terminate, and to terminate the child, cleaning up any state |
| // associated with it. |
| // |
| // A child process uses the GetChildHandle function to complete the initial |
| // authentication handshake. The child must call SetReady to indicate that it |
| // is fully initialized and ready for whatever purpose it is intended to |
| // fulfill. This handshake is referred as the 'exec protocol'. |
