### Usage

aeternum [program] [args...]
aeternum -o [outfile] -e [errfile] -- [program] [args...]

`outfile` is a file path to which the program's `stdout` should be redirected.

`errfile` is a file path to which `stderr` should be redirected.

If either is not provided, `/dev/null` will be used.

The `--` option is used to delimit `aeternum` arguments from arguments to the
process being spawned. Everything after `--` will be passed to `execvp()`.
