Unbox Description

Unbox is an open source and free daemon and client library, implemented using CPDistributedMessagingCenter, to make various filesystem operations possible for restricted/sandboxed applications.Having a similar functionality to as of Sandcastle, Unbox makes it possible to actually execute filesystem operations as if under user root. Unbox also doesn't hook into Springboard (as it has a separate daemon), so it won't cause your iPhone's UI to lag or become unresponsive.How to use this? The actual commands are executed by the daemon which does setuid(0) to run under user root. You communicate with it using the client library (gcc -lunbox, #import ).A detailed synopsys of the commands Unbox can execute is available HERE.Unbox is licensed and distributed under a CreativeCommons Attribution 3.0 Unported License.
