Discussion

For recordable applications, the information provided by AEManagerInfo may be useful when the application is responding to Apple events that it sends to itself.

For information on determining whether the Apple Event Manager is available, see the Apple Event Manager Gestalt Selector, described in Inside macOS: Gestalt Manager Reference.
