Wrapper to run single command using fl-cow

Usage

cow command []

Overview

This wrapper executes a single command using fl-cow, ensuring that the fl-cow library is appropriately preloaded.

Notes

fl-cow is a library to implement copy-on-write of hard linked files, that is if a program opens a file with write permissions the hard-linked copy is replaced by a non-hard linked version of the file.

Examples

For instance, to run a shell with fl-cow enabled:

cow bash

From fl-cow 0.6-10 in Debian 13 (Trixie). Parsed by carta from the page's man source.
