+/* NAME
+/*	exec_command 3
+/* SUMMARY
+/*	execute command
+/* SYNOPSIS
+/*	#include <exec_command.h>
+/*
+/*	NORETURN exec_command(command)
+/*	const char *command;
+/* DESCRIPTION
+/*	\fIexec_command\fR() replaces the current process by an instance
+/*	of \fIcommand\fR. This routine uses a simple heuristic to avoid
+/*	the overhead of running a command shell interpreter.
+/* DIAGNOSTICS
+/*	This routine never returns. All errors are fatal.
+/* LICENSE
+/* .ad
+/* .fi
+/*	The Secure Mailer license must be distributed with this software.
