Note that a process that has not ever called `pledge()` is considered to not have made any promises, and is allowed use any system functionality (subject to regular permission checks).
`pledge()` is intended to be used in programs that want to sandbox themselves, either to limit the impact of a possible vulnerability exploitation, or before intentionally executing untrusted code.
