this is a very good point I didn't think of beforehand. In this
regard, we might want to think about an option, however, why not
do it like this?
#ifndef __OpenBSD__
int pledge(const char *promises, const char *paths[]) { return 0; }
#endif
This way, we can call it easily in the code without troubles.
I admittedly am a huge supporter of pledge() and would be happy
to see it included in suckless tools. However, there always will
remain a bad aftertaste given it's an OS-dependent solution.
However, to be fair, I think OpenBSD is the best OS out there.
