Implementations

impl PolkitAgent

pub fn request(&self) -> ReadSignal<Option<AuthRequest>>

The request being answered now, or None. One shows at a time; up to 8 more wait their turn, and polkit is told any past that failed.

pub fn respond(&self, text: impl Into<String>)

Answers the request’s question, as the user typed it. After a failure, it tries again and answers the new try’s first question. At any other time, or with a line break in it, it is dropped. It is never logged, and its bytes are zeroed once sent.

pub fn cancel(&self)

Gives up on the request, as the user’s cancel button does, and tells polkit so.

pub fn pick_identity(&self, name: &str)

Asks name, one of the request’s identities, instead: it moves to the front, and the conversation starts again as that user. An unknown name is logged.
