yo stack, I. As far as I know, on OpenBSD, a programer can pledge at the source code level that the program will only access a certain subset of API. Once the program is running, the size of this subset can only decrease. the system will kill the program and emit a pledge error. So it could be OpenBSD fixed some pledge enforcement bug. II. A run time config file means the program have to parse a file making it more complex. For such a small program, recompile took 2sec so there is little point on having a run time config file

*if a access violation should happen, the system will kill the program and emit a pledge error.
Interesting, I had no idea.
I like suckless configuration for small applications, agreed

The binary is only 60kb, it is really the best file manager for my software minimum fetishism. Sfm has not been the most stable program, there is always a random crash here and there. Since the latest OpenBSD patch, I keep getting pledge error. So I went on a search for a possible replacement. From...
