"""
This plugin lets you execute a system command through poezio.

Usage
-----

.. warning:: Running commands that start a daemon or an interface is not a good
             idea.

.. glossary::

    /exec
        **Usage:** ``/exec [-o|-O] <command>``

        Execute a system command.

        ::

            /exec command

        Will give you the result in the information buffer.

        ::

            /exec -o command

        Will send the result of the command into the current tab, if possible.

        ::

            /exec -O command

        Will send the result of the command and the command summary into the current
        tab, if possible.
