detRun

detRun is a command-line utility designed for executing programs with specific driver and execution configurations. It is often used in contexts where precise control over the execution environment is necessary, such as in testing or development workflows. The utility allows users to specify various parameters that influence how a target program is launched, including the choice of drivers and associated settings.

The primary function of detRun is to act as an intermediary, orchestrating the execution of another process. It takes as input the path to the executable to be run and a configuration file that defines the execution environment. This configuration typically includes details about the drivers that should be loaded or utilized during the program's execution. Drivers, in this context, can refer to various components that provide specific functionalities or interfaces, such as hardware drivers, debugging tools, or specialized libraries.

By separating the execution logic from the program itself, detRun promotes flexibility and reusability. Users can create different configuration files to test the same program under various conditions without modifying the program's code. This is particularly beneficial for debugging and performance analysis, where observing a program's behavior with different driver setups can reveal critical insights. The output of the executed program, along with any diagnostic information generated by detRun or its associated drivers, is typically captured and made available to the user for review.
