Function: mbfl_system_id ARG … ¶

Function: mbfl_system_id_var _RV ARG … ¶

Run the program id handing to it the given optional arguments; the program is run through the mbfl_program_exec() interface. If id is not executable or an error occurs executing it: return by calling return_failure().

We need to remember that a pathname to id is determined at package configuration time and hard–coded in the MBFL file; Gathering users data.
