Wouldn't it be better to add this to the existing posix.unistd namespace in lposix.c? exec does not seem FreeBSD-specific. I have a related question: this week I wrote some FreeBSD-specific lua modules wrapping some system calls like sysctl(2) and cap_enter(2). How do we want to organize the flua namespace for such things? Should we have a freebsd.sys namespace for system call wrappers? I would then put bindings for FreeBSD libraries under freebsd.* or freebsd.lib.*, so we could have freebsd.lib.procstat, for example.
