# XPC_CONNECTION_MACH_SERVICE_PRIVILEGED

A flag that indicates the job advertising the service name belongs to a launch daemon rather than a launch agent.

## Declaration

```swift
var XPC_CONNECTION_MACH_SERVICE_PRIVILEGED: Int32 { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion Pass this to xpc_connection_create_mach_service(_:_:_:). This flag indicates that the job advertising the service name in its launchd.plist needs to be in the privileged Mach bootstrap. Do this by placing your launchd.plist in /Library/LaunchDaemons. If you specify this alongside the XPC_CONNECTION_MACH_SERVICE_LISTENER flag, this flag is a no-op.
