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