//!
//! This function is similar to 10.9.5
//! `xnu-2422.115.4/bsd/vm/vm_unix.c` `task_for_pid_posix_check()`.
//!
//! This function accepts a `task_t` argument instead of a `pid_t` argument,
//! implying that the task send right must be retrieved before it can be
//! checked. This is done because a `pid_t` argument may refer to a different
//! task in between the time that access is checked and its corresponding
//! `task_t` is obtained by `task_for_pid()`. When `task_for_pid()` is called
//! first, any operations requiring the process ID will call `pid_for_task()`
//! and be guaranteed to use the process ID corresponding to the correct task,
//! or to fail if that task is no longer running. If the task dies and the PID
//! is recycled, it is still possible to look up the wrong PID, but falsely
//! granting task access based on the new process’ characteristics is harmless
//! because the task will be a dead name at that point.

  // effective user ID is 0 but the real user ID is anything else.

  // KERN_TFP_POLICY_DENY, it would deny access.
  //
  // This behavior is not duplicated here because the point of this function is
  // to permit task_for_pid() access for setuid root programs. It is assumed
  // that a setuid root program ought to be able to overcome any policy set in
  // kern.tfp.policy.
  //
  // Access to the running process’ own task is not granted outright and is
  // instead subjected to the same user/group ID checks as any other process.
  // This has the effect of denying access to the running process’ own task when
  // it is setuid root. This is intentional, because it prevents the same sort
  // of cross-privilege disclosure discussed below at the DidChangePriveleges()
  // check. The running process can still access its own task port via
  // mach_task_self(), but a non-root user cannot coerce a setuid root tool to
  // operate on itself by specifying its own process ID to this TaskForPID()
