Expand description
Run an executable tool with enhanced privileges after passing suitable authorization procedures.
Parameter authorization
: An authorization reference that is used to authorize
access to the enhanced privileges. It is also passed to the tool for
further access control.
Parameter pathToTool
: Full pathname to the tool that should be executed
with enhanced privileges.
Parameter options
: Option bits (reserved). Must be zero.
Parameter arguments
: An argv-style vector of strings to be passed to the tool.
Parameter communicationsPipe
: Assigned a UNIX stdio FILE pointer for
a bidirectional pipe to communicate with the tool. The tool will have
this pipe as its standard I/O channels (stdin/stdout). If NULL, do not
establish a communications pipe.
This function has been deprecated and should no longer be used. Use a launchd-launched helper tool and/or the Service Management framework for this functionality.
