 The Sandboxed API project (**SAPI**) aims to make sandboxing of C/C++ libraries
 less burdensome: after initial setup of security policies and generation of
 library interfaces, an almost-identical stub API is generated (using a

 transparently forwarding calls using a custom RPC layer to the real library
 running inside a sandboxed environment.
 
 Additionally, each SAPI library utilizes a tightly defined security policy, in
