61 @abstract Create a AuthorizationRef for the process that sent the mach message
62 represented by the audit token. Requires root.
63 @param token The audit token of a mach message
64 @param environment (input/optional) An AuthorizationItemSet containing enviroment state used when making the autorization decision. See the AuthorizationEnvironment type for details.
65 @param flags (input) options specified by the AuthorizationFlags enum. set all unused bits to zero to allow for future expansion.
66 @param authorization (output) A pointer to an AuthorizationRef to be returned. When the returned AuthorizationRef is no longer needed AuthorizationFree should be called to prevent anyone from using the aquired rights.
68 @result errAuthorizationSuccess 0 authorization or all requested rights succeeded.

83 @param authorization in external form that is used to authorize
84 access to the enhanced privileges. It is also passed to the tool for
85 further access control.

89 @param arguments An argv-style vector of strings to be passed to the tool.
90 @param communicationsPipe Assigned a UNIX stdio FILE pointer for
91 a bidirectional pipe to communicate with the tool. The tool will have
