Struct Greetd 

pub struct Greetd { /* private fields */ }

greetd, from cx.greetd(). A clone is cheap and shares it.

A greeter makes a session for a user with create_session, answers each question in state with respond, and once it is Authenticated starts it with start_session, then exits so greetd can.

Implementations

impl Greetd

pub fn state(&self) -> ReadSignal<GreetState>

Where the session being made stands.

pub fn messages(&self) -> ReadSignal<Vec<GreetMessage>>

The informative and error messages greetd sent since the last create_session, oldest first. They need no answer: each is acknowledged as it comes.

pub fn create_session(&self, user: &str)

Makes a session for user and starts authenticating them, ending any session being made before.

pub fn respond(&self, answer: &str)

Answers greetd’s question. Unless the state is Asking, the answer is dropped and that is logged. The answer is never logged, and its bytes are zeroed once written.

pub fn start_session(&self, command: Vec<String>, env: Vec<String>)

Starts the authenticated session with command, such as ["sway"], and env lines such as XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland added to what PAM sets. greetd joins command with spaces and runs the line with sh(1), so an entry holding spaces or shell characters needs quotes of its own, and one entry may be a whole shell line. It starts once the greeter exits. Unless the state is Authenticated, nothing is sent and that is logged.

pub fn cancel(&self)

Ends the session being made.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Greetd

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.
