Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Peter Pentchev <roam@ringlet.net> * Package name : rname Version : 1.0.2 Upstream Author : Peter Pentchev <roam@ringlet.net> * URL : https://devel.ringlet.net/sysutils/rname/ * License : BSD-2-clause Programming Lang: C Description : invoke a program under a different name The rname utility invokes a specified program, passing a different name instead of the name of the program executable. This could be useful in a number of cases, both during software development, testing, and in production use. There are many programs that do different things based on what name they have been invoked under; the rname utility avoids the need to e.g. create ephemeral symlinks to run these programs in some conditions when they have not been completely installed. I originally wrote this tool in 2000 and I'm resurrecting it now for the purpose of writing unit and integration tests for just such a multifaceted program.
