## What is Sandboxed API?

The Sandboxed API project (**SAPI**) makes sandboxing of C/C++ libraries less
burdensome: after initial setup of security policies and generation of library
interfaces, a stub API is generated, 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
contrast to the typical sandboxed project, where security policies must cover
the total syscall/resource footprint of all its libraries.

## Documentation
