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
