NAME
     DevToolsSecurity -- Change the security authorization policies for developer systems

SYNOPSIS
     DevToolsSecurity

DESCRIPTION
     This tool changes the security authorization policies for use of Apple-code-signed debugger and performance analysis tools on development
     systems.

     On normal user systems, the first time in a given login session that any such Apple-code-signed debugger or performance analysis tools are
     used to examine one of the user's processes, the user is queried for an administator password for authorization.

     When the Xcode developer tools are installed, the post-install script automatically runs this DevToolsSecurity tool to change the authoriza-
     tion policies, such that a user who is a member of either the admin group or the _developer group does not need to enter an additional pass-
     word to use the Apple-code-signed debugger or performance analysis tools.

     Developers will typically not need to run this tool manually.  If for some reason it needs to be run manually, it can be run from the usr/bin
     folder inside the Xcode tools folder.  For example, if the Xcode tools were installed at /Developer, then the script can be run from /Devel-
     oper/usr/bin/DevToolsSecurity.
