okay so bestie, this is the manual page for pklocalauthority β that's the polkit Local Authority Compatibility situation, and we're gonna talk about it π
β¨ NAME β¨
pklocalauthority β polkit Local Authority Compatibility π¦
πΈ DESCRIPTION πΈ
okay so here's the tea, and it's a little sad ngl: the polkit Local Authority? it doesn't exist anymore π periodt, gone, no cap.
BUT β and this is the important part β your existing configuration files are still honored π«Ά like they're not abandoned, they're still getting the love. if you wanna know what the configuration format actually looks like, go check out pkla-admin-identities(8) and pkla-check-authorization(8), they've got the whole description laid out for you β¨
π¨ okay now the big caveat, pay attention bestie: unlike the original Local Authority implementation,ReturnValuekeys are ignored β becausepolkit(8)literally no longer supports that functionality. so if you were counting onReturnValue, she's not coming to the function, iykyk π
