macbook禁用键盘,如何以编程方式启用/禁用Mac内置键盘

I use command:

sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBTopCase.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBTCKeyboard.kext

sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBTopCase.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBTCKeyboard.kext

to disable/enable mac build-in keyboard manually. It seems to unload/load driver for build-in keyboard and works fine.

So how to do it in the code. In my opinion, I needed to do two tasks.

1. unload/load the driver

2. run sudo command

The first task is simple, just use KextManager API will do me favor.

The second one, I found Apple documents say when you want to run sudo authentication task, with the security consideration, you should use something like:

1. launchd

2. SMJobless

3. XPC service

4. etc...

to abstract the high rights task to a sub helper tool run as a launchd process, and use XPC service to communication between main application and this helper tool.

I tried all of these, and helper tool works fine, but when I use

KextManagerUnloadKextWithIdentifier(CFSTR("com.apple.driver.AppleUSBTCKeyboard"));

in the helper tool. It did not work, the build-in keyboard is not disabled properly.

Do I miss something or there is another way to do the job??

解决方案

When I restarted my macbook, it worked... so it is a right way to solve this problem.

If you have another ideas, just comment it.
