  Documentation: There currently isn't any. A bit worrying for something that could potentially make the entire OS unusable if misconfigured, accidentally or otherwise.

    Then don't use it, or if you want to, then write some! They're quite clear that it's not production software…

  So this is a more flexible implementation of Apple's Gatekeeper feature? Maybe I missed it but is the black/whitelist something that comes pre-populated and can be added to or does it start empty?

    A more extensive implementation. Gatekeeper only controls launching applications; Santa controls all binaries.

      Ah ok, thanks for clarifying.
