Generic Mock is a project born out of redundancy. There were many cases when I always ended up writing small test programs printing the environment, the command line arguments with the purpose to find out more information about how some executables are run.

Almost each time the small program turned out into a bigger one. I eventually ended up building a even more complex program based on the command line arguments. And this happened in most of the cases.

Lately I ended up using the same technique for other different languages.

So to avoid redundancy I created this project. Hopefully this will be useful for others.

This project currently contains:

• cross platform code (C/C++) for grabbing a program's stdin, stdout, stderr
• code for executing commands in parallel
• stub of an executable to print the environment or to return a specific value
