SBPL - SandBox Policy Language

Description of the SBPL - The Apple SandBox Policy Language

This is a description of the different primitives available in the SBPL - a language derived from TinyScheme used to describe what is allowed or denied to a process running on MacOSX 10.5 or higher operating system.

SBPL is a powerful language where one can construct simple one line rules or more complex program constructs. Unfortunately there is no real documentation available anywhere.

For those interested, there is a SBPL policy syntax file for vim available for download among with some install instructions.
