-@command{exec-as} shall spawn a program and
-lets the user specify a value for @code{argv[0]}
-explicitly.
-
-@command{exec-as} is intended as a shell
-command. It makes no since to use it from most
-programming languages.
-
-Since this is not a builtin function, it cannot
-be used as @command{exec} without arguments to
-set file descriptors.
-
-Because this is not a builtin function, running
-@command{exec-as} would normally do an fork–exec
-rather than just an exec. To just perform an
-exec, you need to use @command{exec} too:
-@code{exec exec-as}
-

-
-@node Invoking
-@chapter Invoking
-
-At least one argument are required. The first
-argument is the file to run. This can either
-be an absolute path, an explicitly relative path,
-or a file in @env{$PATH}. The second argument
-is the name of the process, @code{argv[0]}.
-The following arguments are the rest in of the
-values in @code{argv}, often called the
-command line arguments.
-
-@command{'exec-as bash -bash'} will run the first
-program in @env{$PATH} named @command{bash}, and
-set @code{argv[0]} to @code{-bash} (making it a
-login shell.) You can add addition argument as
-needed.
