The libexec directory (usually /usr/libexec, but neither the
File Hierarchy Standard FHS nor the FSSTND mentions it) usually
contains executables that are not directly executed from the
commandline or from scripts by themselves, but are called by
other programs. For example rmt in libexec seems to be called
by tar. Note that libexec need not be in the PATH. I believe that
when programs here are executed, they are fully qualified.
