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.
