+# exec-intercept
+
+This is like [bear](https://github.com/rizsotto/Bear), except it's not specialised to C-like compiler invocations.
+
+This tool intercepts all `execve` calls, logs them to a file, then executes the
+`execve` calls normally. The same is done for `execve` calls of processes thus
+started.
+
+The tool currently only works on Linux.
