// The next two commands imagine an app that needs to store a license key in some global location |
// that's not writable by all users; thus, setting the license key requires elevated privileges. |
// To manage this there's a 'read' command--which by default can be used by everyone--to return |
// the key and a 'write' command--which requires admin authentication--to set the key. |

// This command imagines an app that contains an embedded web server. A web server has to |
// bind to port 80, which is a privileged operation. This command lets the app request that |
// the privileged helper tool create sockets bound to port 80 and then pass them back to the |
// app, thereby minimising the amount of code that has to run with elevated privileges. |
// authData must be an AuthorizationExternalForm embedded in an NSData and the sockets are |
// returned wrapped up in NSFileHandles. |
