// Package exec is used to invoke child processes across various platforms to
// provide the following features:
//
// - Least privilege
// - Resource constraints
// - Process isolation
//
// A "platform" may be defined as coarsely as "Windows" or as specifically as
// "linux 3.20 with systemd". This allows Nomad to use best-effort, best-
// available capabilities of each platform to provide resource constraints,
// process isolation, and security features, or otherwise take advantage of
// features that are unique to that platform.
//
// The `semantics of any particular instance are left up to the implementation.
// However, these should be completely transparent to the calling context. In
// other words, the Java driver should be able to call exec for any platform and
// just work.
