## Interface PrivilegedAction<T>

-     public interface PrivilegedAction<T>

  A computation to be performed with privileges enabled. The computation is performed by invoking `AccessController.doPrivileged` on the `PrivilegedAction` object. This interface is used only for computations that do not throw checked exceptions; computations that throw checked exceptions must use `PrivilegedExceptionAction` instead.
  Since:
    1.2

    - #### run

          T run()

      Performs the computation. This method will be called by `AccessController.doPrivileged` after enabling privileges.
      Returns:
        a class-dependent value that may represent the results of the computation. Each class that implements `PrivilegedAction` should document what (if anything) this value represents.
