Can someone please describe, for a non-programmer, but IT person, what is pledge ? Ex.: there is a program, ex.: "xterm". How can pledge make it more secure? It pledge inside the programs code, or outside in the OS itself? Where is pledge? Is it in the programs code; or does the OS has a list of binaries that can only invoke xy syscalls?
