Command
Allowed apps are references to applications that have been added by the user or a recipe. This enables a recipe to install or remove an app. It's therefore important only to run trusted and audited recipes. The functions you can use are getAllowedApps, setAllowedApps and removeAllowedApps.
The cmd function acts as gatekeeper to external executables. This gives the user more control and awareness over what applications are used and allowed.
