cp src -> dest, there are a lot of sub-api to copy data,
but in your case, you have only to spawn/exec/popen a pre-flight script in your code and do whatever you want as everybody does
but I don't understand why you don't let the kexts into your app bundle and then execute from CFBundle Resources directory your pre-flight script using standard C functions
you can do whatever you want imagine you have your GUI app in awakeFromNib just execute the load using popen on a pre-flight,
second option create a deamon script loader/unloader using launchd, I don't understand what's your problem anyway
Cheers!

Hi
As I said before, My heartiest apology for spam. Again that was not intentional.
I want to do this at standard user level. I am using C++/carbon code. You have give a scripts which will run for super user. However the case is I want to copy kext to /tmp and load from there itself on standard user machine. This will help server monitor network on that standard user machine.
Thanks Rahul

Hello,
your request is a bit messy, do you load your program at boot? deamon whatever or is it a Cocoa App that needs to work with its kexts ? you can use kextstat to grep your reversed DNS
popen NSTask whatever you choose are your friends, but I am not sure my answer fits with your multi spam request
sudo kextloader /tmp/kext.kext
#!/usr/bin/env bash
usage () { echo "Usage: kextdevel [load|unload] kext" exit 1 }
if [[ $UID -ne 0 ]]; then echo "System administrator privileges required" exit 1 fi
if [ $# != 2 ] ; then usage fi
if ! test -d "${2}" ; then usage fi
if test "${1}" = "load" ; then chmod 0755 $(find "${2}" -type d) chmod 0644 $(find "${2}" -type f) chown -R root:wheel "${2}" kextload -t "${2}" exit 0 elif test "${1}" = "unload" ; then kextunload "${2}" rm -Rf "${2}" exit 0 else usage fi
# EOF

Hi,
I want to copy some kernel extensions to /tmp directory and then load that kext.
This can be done through super user privileges from terminal.
However I want to do this when my application launches.
Does anyone have any idea how can I do this?
Thanks
