Summary

This chapter describes how to obtain information about files, processes, and the operating system.

This chapter also provides general information about operating-system security, and the security vulnerabilities of Cocoa applications.

The next chapter explains how to use operating system networking features from Cocoa including ways to communicate with other applications such as Finder.
