I must be missing something but why should there be an API? - determining whether SIP is on requires to check whether the running OS on 10.11 or later. Also it could done by parsing the output of $ csrutil status but this would assume the output format will not change in the future. - determining whether you can write to a file or folder can be done with the usual BSD, Cocoa APIs, can't it? - knowing which parts of the file hierarchy are protected is covered by the documentation (Interestingly I've just discovered that /Applications/Utilities is a no trespassing area). _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
