I have an app which needs to do (among other things) to call task_for_pid() 
which seems to work only for root.

The modern way to  do this is have a small companion tool which exchanges info 
with my app via XPC. Correct?

I am also thinking about sandboxing (just as a learning experience). Or is root 
and sandboxing mutually exclusive?

Then: how to make my companion tool run as root?
Is there a sandboxing entitlement like: com.apple.security.rootAllowed?
If not: what else to use?


Kind regards,

Gerriet.
