DESCRIPTION

Alr sets up the environment variables (GPR_PROJECT_PATH, PATH, etc.) and then spawns the given command.
This can be used to run tools or scripts on Alire projects. The -P switch can be used to ask Alire to insert a -P <PROJECT_FILE> switch to the command arguments. -P takes an optional position argument to specify where to insert the extra switch. -P1 means first position, -P2 second position, etc. -P-1 means last position, -P-2 penultimate position, etc. -P equals -P1. For example "alr exec -P2 -- python3 main.py arg1" will run the following command: ["python3", "main.py", -P, "crate.gpr", "arg1"]
