  Description     : simple, cross-platform sandboxing C library powering Criterion

 BoxFort provides a simple API to run user code in isolated processes.
 .
 Although BoxFort provides some kind of security of the parent process from
 spawned sandboxes, a sandbox has by default the same system permissions and
 access than its parent, and is hence, without care, ill-fitted for security
 purposes.
 .
 The main goal of this project is not security, but portable code isolation
 -- if you want complete system isolation, consider using properly configured
 containers.


This package is a dependency of the Criterion C++ test library.
I'm planning to maintain this alone at first, but it looks like a team is forming
around the Criterion package and it's dependencies, so we might form a more
official team later.
