| 6 | .\" The following lines are read in generating the apropos(man -k) database. Use only key | |

| 13 | .Sh DESCRIPTION | |
| 14 | The | |
| 15 | .Nm | |
| 16 | utility launches the specified program in StartupItem bootstrap context. Each Darwin | |
| 17 | and Mac OS X login creates a unique bootstrap subset context to contain login specific | |
| 18 | Mach port registrations with the bootstrap server. All such registrations performed | |
| 19 | within the context of that subset are only visible to other processes within that | |
| 20 | context or subsequent subsets of it. Therefore, a Mach port based service/daemon | |
| 21 | launched within a login context will not be visible to other such contexts. | |
| 22 | .Pp | |
| 23 | To override this, a root user can use the | |
| 24 | .Nm | |
| 25 | utility to launch the program within the same bootstrap context as all other | |
| 26 | StartupItems. All subsequent Mach port bootstrap registrations perfomed by the program | |
| 27 | will be visible system-wide. | |
| 28 | .Sh NOTES | |
| 29 | All bootstrap port lookups will also be resticted | |
| 30 | to the StartupItem context. The services provided on a per-login basis (clipboard, | |
| 31 | etc...) will not be available to the program. | |
