NAME

6       run-redir - run program but redirect some resulting files

SYNOPSIS

9       run-redir COMMAND-TO-RUN
10
11       run-redir -p | --print
12

DESCRIPTION

14       This  program  is  intended  to make it possible to run install scripts
15       that do not support the DESTDIR convention, and yet have their  result‐
16       ing   files  redirected  elsewhere.   Where  possible,  use  make-redir
17       instead, as that provides a simpler higher-level interface  for  common
18       cases.
19
20       In the first form, run the COMMAND-TO-RUN, but wrap certain programs so
21       that any files they write will be redirected to a  different  subdirec‐
22       tory  if  they were to have been stored in a privileged directory (like
23       "/usr/bin").  The different subdirectory is specified by  REDIR_DESTDIR
24       or DESTDIR, with the former taking precedence.
25
26       With  the "-p" or "--print" option, just print the directory containing
27       the redirecting (wrapping) scripts and exit.  The run-redir program  is
28       installed with a default value of the directory containing the wrapping
29       scripts; you can override this default by setting the environment vari‐
30       able  RUN_REDIR_SCRIPTDIR to point to a different directory of wrapping
31       scripts.
32
33       See make-redir(1) for much more  information  on  this  program.   More
