HAL-IS-CALLER-PRIVILEGED(1)                  DragonFly General Commands Manual

NAME
       hal-is-caller-privileged - determine if a caller is privileged

SYNOPSIS
       hal-is-caller-privileged [options]

DESCRIPTION
       hal-is-caller-privileged determines if a specific caller is privileged
       for a given PolicyKit action on given device. For more information
       about both the big picture, HAL and PolicyKit , refer to the HAL spec
       (which can be found in /usr/local/share/doc/hal/spec/hal-spec.html
       depending on the distribution) and also the PolicyKit documentation.

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported:

       --udi  The UDI (Unique Device Identifier) of the device object.

       --action
              PolicyKit action to check for.

       --caller
              The unique D-Bus name on the system bus of the caller.

       --help Print out usage.

       --version
              Print the version.

RETURN VALUE
       If an error occurs this program exits with a non-zero exit code.
       Otherwise the textual reply will be printed on stdout and this program
       will exit with exit code 0. Unprivileged callers (e.g. with a non-zero
       uid) can only ask about callers/processes that matches their own uid.

BUGS
       Please send bug reports to either the distribution or the HAL mailing
       list, see http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/hal on how to
       subscribe.
