I've seeen several examples of how to run a commad line tool as root

the information is pretty clear but the problem is I need to gain root
access for the application Im building. It basically needs to be able
to
remove several files in /Library so I need the application to get
authorized after it has executed, and the user chooses a given
function.
Does any one know of examples, or would some one be able to help with
this?
That's not possible since you can't elevate the privileges of a running
task. Instead, you'll need to launch a helper app using the
authorization services functions that performs the task that requires
higher privileges.
