Although the spread of +such viruses across a network can only be abated by aware and cautious +users, _condom_ is the only highly-effective means of preventing +viruses from entering your system (see celibacy(1)). Any data passed +to _condom_ by the protected process will be blocked, as specified by +the value of the -s option (see OPTIONS below). _condom_ is known to +defend against the following viruses and other malicious +afflictions... + + o AIDS + o Herpes Simplex (genital varieties) + o Syphilis + o Crabs + o Genital warts + o Gonorrhea + o Chlamydia + o Michelangelo + o Jerusalem + + When used alone or in conjunction with pill(1), sponge(1), +foam(1), and/or setiud(3), _condom_ also prevents the conception of a +child process. If invoked from within a synchronous process, _condom_ +has, by default, an 80% chance of preventing the external processes +from becoming parent processes (see the -s option below). When other +process contraceptives are used, the chance of preventing a child +process from being forked becomes much greater. See pill(1), +sponge(1), foam(1), and setiud(3) for more information. + If no options are given, the current user's login process (as +determined by the environment variable USER) is protected with a +Trojan rough-cut latex condom without a reservoir tip. The optional +'processid' argument is an integer specifying the process to protect. + NOTE: _condom_ may only be used with a hard disk. _condom_ +will terminate abnormally with exit code -1 if used with a floppy +disk (see DIAGNOSTICS below). + +OPTIONS + The following options may be given to _condom_... + + -b BRAND BRANDs are as follows... + + trojan (default) + ramses + sheik + goldcoin + fourex + + -m MATERIAL The valid MATERIALs are... + + latex (default) + saranwrap + membrane -- WARNING! The membrane option is _not_ + endorsed by the System Administrator General as an + effective barrier against certain viruses. It is + supported only for the sake of tradition. + + -f FLAVOR The following FLAVORs are currently supported... + + plain (default) + apple + banana + cherry + cinnamon + licorice + orange + peppermint + raspberry + spearmint + strawberry + + -r Toggle reservoir tip (default is no reservoir tip) + + -s STRENGTH STRENGTH is an integer between 20 and 100 specifying + the resilience of _condom_ against data passed to + _condom_ by the protected process. Using a larger + value of STRENGTH increases _condom_'s protective + abilities, but also reduces interprocess communication. + A smaller value of STRENGTH increases interprocess + communication, but also increases the likelihood of a + security breach. An extremely vigorous process or + one passing an enormous amount of data to _condom_ + will increase the chance of _condom_'s failure. The + default STRENGTH is 80%. + + -t TEXTURE Valid TEXTUREs are... + + rough (default) + ribbed + bumps + lubricated (provides smoother interaction between + processes) + + WARNING: The use of an external application to _condom_ in +order to reduce friction between processes has been proven in +benchmark tests to decrease _condom_'s strength factor! If execution +speed is important to your process, use the '-t lubricated' option. + +DIAGNOSTICS + _condom_ terminates with one of the following exit codes... + + -1 An attempt was made to use _condom_ on a floppy disk. + + 0 _condom_ exited successfully (no data was passed to + the synchronous process). + + 1 _condom_ failed and data was allowed through. The + danger of transmission of an STV or the forking of a child + process is inversely proportional to the number of other + protections employed and is directly proportional to + the ages of the processes involved. + +BUGS + _condom_ is NOT 100% effective at preventing a child process +from being forked or at deterring the invasion of a virus (although +the System Administrator General has deemed that _condom_ is the most +effective means of preventing the spread of system transmitted +viruses). See celibacy(1) for information on a 100% effective program +for preventing these problems. + Remember... the use of sex(1) and other related routines +should only occur between mature, consenting processes. If you must +use sex(1), please employ _condom_ to protect your process and your +synchronous process. If we are all responsible, we can stop the +spread of STVs. + +AUTHORS and HISTORY + The original version of _condom_ was released in Roman times +and was only marginally effective. With the advent of modern +technology, _condom_ now supports many more options and is much more +effective. + The current release of _condom_ was written by Ken Maupin at +the University of Washington (maupin@cs.washington.edu) and was last +updated on 10/7/92. + +SEE ALSO + celibacy(1), sex(1), pill(1), sponge(1), foam(1), and +setiud(3) |
