  Programming Lang: C
  Description     : binfmtc allows executing C source files directly as scripts using the
 binfmt_misc kernel module. It compiles and runs the C program transparently
 when executed via standard shebang lines, streamlining prototyping and
 small command-line utilities.

binfmtc enables C source files to be run directly as executable scripts through
the Linux kernel binfmt_misc mechanism, making rapid prototyping and small
command-line utility writing efficient and transparent.

I intend to adopt this package to maintain it within the Debian archive, resolve
open bugs, and ensure clean modern builds using sbuild and git-buildpackage.
