Tldr: page request: exec

It would be great with a page for the exec command, the man page is... quite terse

https://linux.die.net/man/3/exec

new command

Hey, @TobiasRoland! If you're after help for the console command, I'd recommend help exec instead of man exec, as it's actually a shell built-in.

As @mttbernardini mentions, we've already got a PR open for this in #2800.

If you're referring to the C function, then that's sadly out-of-scope of tldr-pages.

There's a PR for exec(1) (see #2800) but, seing the provided link, you seem to be referring to exec(3), the family of C functions. I don't know if tldr pages about C functions and libraries exist yet. Maybe you could open an issue to see if there's any interest about it.

Or maybe it's just a wrong link, since you're referring to "the exec command".

Update: #2800 has been merged! That was fast. Thanks, @mfrw!
