/** The Executor class is used to perform various privileged operations. When
    Pegasus is built with privilege separation, the methods of this class are
    used to submit requests to a privileged process called and "executor". The
    current process communicates with the executor over an anonymous local
    domain socket. But, when Pegasus is built without privilege separation,
    the methods are implemented in the same process (within Executor.cpp).

    <br>
    When configured for privilege separation, the Pegasus server runs as two
    processes.

    <ul>
        <li>the executor (the cimserver program).
        <li>the server (the cimservermain program).
    </ul>

    The "executor" is the parent process. When it starts the server it passes
    the -x option with a socket number. The server checks for this option. It
    if finds it, is assumes it is running in privilege separation mode, in
    which case is calls Executor::setSock() with this socket number.

    <br>
    The Executor::detectExecutor() method is used in various places to see if
    the executor is present. For example.

        <pre>
        if (Executor::detectExecutor() == 0)
        {
            // Executor is present.
        }
        </pre>

    The remaining methods provide an interface for submitting requests to the
    executor over the given socket, if present. Otherwise, the methods are
    handled directly by this class (see Executor.cpp). Here is a typical
    exampe of its usage.

        <pre>
        if (Executor::removeFile(path) == 0)
        {
            // File successfully removed.
        }
        </pre>

    This example removes the given file. But be aware that the executor defines
    a policy that identifies which files it may removed (or manipulated by the
    other methods). In order to remove a file, the file must be added to the
    executor policy (located in pegasus/src/Executor/Policy.c).
