  Description     : A library to make privilege Separation easy

Privman is a library that makes it easy for programs to use privilege
separation, a technique that prevents the leak or misuse of privilege from
applications that must run with some elevated permissions. Applications that
use the Privman library split into two halves, the half that performs valid
privileged operations, and the half that contains the application's logic. The
Privman library simplifies the otherwise complex task of separating the
application, protecting the system from compromise if an error in the
application logic is found.
