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/packages/hal/spec/hal-
spec.html depending on the distribution) and also the PolicyKit documentation.

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.

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.
