/*
 *  WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING
 *
 *  This program runs as set-uid root on Android production devices.
 *  Be very conservative when modifying it to avoid any serious
 *  security issue. Keep in mind the following:
 *
 *  - This program should only run for the 'root' or 'shell' users
 *
 *  - Avoid anything that is more complex than simple system calls
 *    until the uid/gid has been dropped to that of a normal user
 *    or you are sure to exit.
 *
 *    This avoids depending on environment variables, system properties
 *    and other external factors that may affect the C library in
 *    unpredictable ways.
 *
 *  - Do not trust user input and/or the filesystem whenever possible.
 *
 *  Read README.TXT for more details.
 *
 *
 *
 * The purpose of this program is to run a command as a specific
 * application user-id. Typical usage is:
 *
 *   run-as <package-name> <command> <args>
 *
 *  The 'run-as' binary is setuid, but will check the following:
 *
 *  - that it is invoked from the 'shell' or 'root' user (abort otherwise)
 *  - that '<package-name>' is the name of an installed and debuggable package
 *  - that the package's data directory is well-formed (see package.c)
 *
 *  If so, it will cd to the package's data directory, drop to the application's
 *  user id / group id then run the command there.
 *
 *  This can be useful for a number of different things on production devices:
 *
 *  - Allow application developers to look at their own applicative data
 *    during development.
 *
 *  - Run the 'gdbserver' binary executable to allow native debugging
