Summary: Execute an encoded command line
Description:
encargs takes a printable-encoded operand as its only non-option argument, decodes it and interprets the result as a NUL-separated command line to be passed to execv(3). It leaves its standard input untouched. It is vaguely analogous to POSIX xargs: where xargs -0 takes word lists from standard input, encargs takes a single word list from its first argument, though the NUL byte is a word separator in the input of encargs. The supported printable encodings are picked such that the encoded data is not mangled by UNIX shell word split.
