;;; examples/safe/safe -- Example for safe (sand-boxed) evaluation.
;;; Commentary:
;;; This is a demo program for evaluating arbitrary (untrusted) Scheme
;;; code in a controlled, safe environment. Evaluation in safe
;;; environments restricts the evaluated code's access to some given
;;; primitives, which are considered `safe', that means which cannot
;;; do any harm to the world outside of Guile (creating/deleting files
;;; etc.)
;;;
;;; *Note* that the files in this directory are only suitable for
;;; demonstration purposes, if you have to implement safe evaluation
;;; mechanisms in important environments, you will have to do more
;;; than shown here -- for example disabling input/output operations.

;; Safe module creation is implemented in this module:

(use-modules (ice-9 safe))
;; This is the main program. It expects one parameter in the format
;; returned by (command-line) and expects that exactly one file name
;; is passed in this list (after the script name, which is passed as
;; the 0th parameter.)
;;
;; The given file is opened for reading, one expression after the
;; other is read and evaluated in a safe environment. All exceptions
;; caused by this evaluation are caught and printed out.
