NAMEpkttyagent − Textual authentication helper

SYNOPSISpkttyagent [−−version] [−−help] pkttyagent [−−process { pid | pid,pid−start−time } | −−system−bus−name busname] [−−notify−fd fd] [−−fallback]

DESCRIPTIONpkttyagent is used to start a textual authentication agent for the subject specified by either −−process or −−system−bus−name​. If neither of these options are given, the parent process is used​. To get notified when the authentication agent has been registered either listen to the Changed D−Bus signal or use −−notify−fd to pass the number of a file descriptor that has been passed to the program​. This file descriptor will then be closed when the authentication agent has been successfully registered​. If −−fallback is used, the textual authentication agent will not replace an existing authentication agent​.

RETURN VALUEIf the authentication agent could not be registered, pkttyagent exits with an exit code of 127​. Diagnostic messages are printed on standard error​. If one or more of the options passed are malformed, pkttyagent exits with an exit code of 126​. If stdin is a tty, then this manual page is also shown​. If the authentication agent was successfully registered, pkttyagent will keep running, interacting with the user as needed​. When its services are no longer needed, the process can be killed​.

NOTESSince process identifiers can be recycled, the caller should always use pid,pid−start−time when using the −−process option​. The value of pid−start−time can be determined by consulting e​.g​. the proc(5) file system depending on the operating system​. If only pid is passed to the −−process option, then pkttyagent will look up the start time itself but note that this may be racy​.
