"""CaptureCmd - A generic tool for capturing information about the
invocations of another program.
Usage
--
1. Move the original tool to a safe known location.
2. Link CaptureCmd to the original tool's location.
3. Define CAPTURE_CMD_PROGRAM to the known location of the original
tool; this must be an absolute path.
4. Define CAPTURE_CMD_DIR to a directory to write invocation
information to.
