Scripting Additions for AppleScript
A scripting addition is a way to deliver additional functionality for AppleScript scripts. It extends the basic AppleScript command set by adding systemwide support for new commands or data types. Developers who need features not available in the current command set can use scripting additions to implement those features and make them available to all programs. For example, one of the built-in scripting additions extends the basic file-handling commands to support the reading and writing of file contents from an AppleScript script.
For information on how to create a scripting addition, see Technical Note TN1164, “Native Scripting Additions.”
Important: With the transition to Intel-based processors, developers should always create universal binaries for scripting additions written with Carbon, Cocoa, or BSD APIs. For information on how to create universal binaries, see Universal Binary Programming Guidelines, Second Edition.
