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

       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/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

       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.
