8 // AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges fork()s and exec()s the tool, but it
9 // does not wait() for it. It also doesn't provide the caller with access to
10 // the forked pid. If used irresponsibly, zombie processes will accumulate.
11 //
12 // Apple's really gotten us between a rock and a hard place, here.
13 //
14 // Fortunately, AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges does give access to the
15 // tool's stdout (and stdin) via a FILE* pipe. The tool can output its pid
16 // to this pipe, and the main program can read it, and then have something
17 // that it can wait() for.
18 //
19 // The contract is that any tool executed by the wrappers declared in this
20 // file must print its pid to stdout on a line by itself before doing anything
21 // else.
