/* NAME

/* 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.
