Additionally the two outcomes of this will be:
1. Don't call pledge in the program.
2. Use pledge("audio bpf chown cpath disklabel dns dpath drm error exec fattr
flock getpw id inet mcast pf proc prot_exec ps recvfd route rpath sendfd
settime stdio tape tmppath tty unix unveil video vminfo vmm wpath wroute",
NULL);
And 1 and 2 are different, subtle but important.
We should write a program that looks at all conflict and finds a simple
solution for world peace.
