/*! \page eboost Using the exec booster
The exec booster is a generic booster for all kinds of applications. Unlike
the other boosters (MeeGo Touch, QML and Qt boosters), this booster does
not help to start up the application more quickly. It is basically a booster
that only exec()'s the given binary. It can be used to launch any application
even if the application is not a library.
\section eboosterpurpose Purpose of exec booster
Applauncherd allows applications to show a splash screen. For instructions
on showing the splash screen in applications boosted using the other
boosters, see \ref splash "here". If you want to have a splash screen in an
application that cannot be boosted, use the exec booster. Thus, you can use
exec booster for launching a splash screen for any application. You can
also launch non-boosted applications as \ref singleinstance "single-instance"
applications with the exec booster.
\section runebooster Running an application with exec booster
You can launch any application binary using the exec booster. Before launching
an application, check that applauncherd package is installed and applauncherd
daemon and the booster-e are running. You can then launch the application
with exec booster as follows:
\code
invoker --type=e /usr/bin/application_binary
\endcode
