Hi people, In the 2.2.x series there is a feature that allows the user to define shells for certain types of files. Selecting on extension or a few magic bytes.
This could be useful for languages where the "#!" trick wouldn't work, like lisp. For the moment I have in a documentation-file: #!/bin/sh echo ':lisp:E::x86f::/usr/bin/lisp-start:' > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register # this should only work for root under linux 2.1.XX or later # now you can do "chmod a+x hello.x86f" and # ./hello.x86f # from your favorite shell. Is there sufficient interest to make a register-binary-format shell script (like update-inetd, or register-window-manager) and put it into the documentation?
