  Description     : eatmydata replacement using seccomp

eatmydata-sc is similar to eatmydata, a tool to disable file syncing. It
is implemented using seccomp-bpf and disables all explicit sync()-like
calls.

It does not support the open() call with O_SYNC parameters or similar.

I do not think it makes sense to package this as is. There's also
another implementation that came first that I don't remember.

If we do want this, we should maybe rename it to inhibit-sync or
similar and see if we can get it into util-linux (or moreutils)
