The dync utility is a small, but quite useful utility, which allows the use of C as a scripting language. This can be quite useful ****SOMETIMES****, allowing access to system calls and library functions from the command line. For example, there are occasions when I want to see the struct stat for a directory entry, and want to be able to access st_mtime values, without having to parse output from "ls -l". A simple: int main(int argc, char **argv) { struct stat st; if (stat(argv[1], &st) == 0) { printf("%lld\n", st.st_mtime); } exit(0); } will do the job. If I was to try this by other means, I would either have to install all of Perl, and then learn its idiosyncratic syntax, or write a custom C program, which I would then have to compile on each architecture I need. This utility relies on there being a C compiler on the target machine, and a working dlopen(3).

Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
Problem reports, updates or suggestions for this package should be reported with send-pr.
