Description : A lightweight tool to start programs "remotely" over UNIX sockets, send file descriptors over it, provide interface to various Linux features along the way (primarily to help dealing with linux namespaces).

Dive is intended to relate to "starting programs" just like socat relates to "using sockets".
It allows simple "remote" startup of programs inside LXC containers,
simple starting LXC-like containers on low level, managing capabilities and securebits and more,
calling setns(2), chroot, prctl and other "tricky" things easily.
