Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing bubblewrap's existing command-line process boundary and sandbox setup, then determine the scope and interface for a shared C library. Done means the library requirements and supported sandbox-creation path are clearly defined.

Description

enhancement help wanted

It would be great if there would be like a shared library for creating the sandbox. Otherwise i would have to spawn a child process for interacting with this software.
