URFKILL(7)

💖 URFKILL(7) — the urfkill girlies' guide 💖

okay bestie, welcome to urfkill, section 7 of the manual, and yes this is the RFKill Switches Management page. sit down, grab a boba, we're gonna talk about airplane mode the correct way. 🛫✨

✨ NAME ✨

urfkill — RFKill Switches Management

like. that's the whole vibe. it manages rfkill switches. iconic behavior honestly. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea, bestie 🍓: urfkill provides an interface to enumerate rfkill switches on the system and to control system-wide rfkill switches management. that's the whole point of her existence and she serves it flawlessly, no cap.

any application can access the org.freedesktop.URfkill service on the system message bus. yes, any application. she's generous like that, she's a giver. 🫶

⚠️ BUT. and this is a big but. some operations — like setting soft block on the device — are restricted using PolicyKit. so no, random lil program, you cannot just walk up and soft-block things. that's giving main character energy and PolicyKit said not today. 🔥

👑 AUTHOR 👑

written by Gary Ching-Pang Lin <glin@novell.com> and with a lot of help from many others. a whole squad, a whole village, the way that community came together?? we love to see it. 🎀
