Description

KauthORama is a sample that demonstrates the use of the Kernel Authorization (Kauth) subsystem introduced in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. KauthORama allows you to register a listener for any scope. The listener has no effect on authorization decisions, but it prints a record of each authorization request so that you can see how Kauth interacts with high-level operations, like listing directories or copying files.
