CloudABI processes can start new +processes by passing them a YAML-like tree of arguments, having file +descriptors of resources annotated to the tree. + +This package provides a native port of the Argdata library, so that it +can be used in native FreeBSD applications, but also to spawn CloudABI +processes appropriately. + +WWW: https://github.com/NuxiNL/argdata |
