HAL-IS-CALLER-PRIVILEGED(1) HAL-IS-CALLER-PRIVILEGED(1) 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/share/doc/hal-0.5.10/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. Other- wise 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.
