A crate to interact with [PolicyKit], a toolkit for defining and handling authorizations. It is used

for allowing unprivileged processes to speak to privileged processes.

**Status:** Stable.

## Example code

```rust,no_run

use zbus::Connection;

use zbus_polkit::policykit1::*;

// Although we use `tokio` here, you can use any async runtime of choice.

#[tokio::main(flavor = "current_thread")]

async fn main() -> Result<(), Box> {

    let connection = Connection::system().await?;

    let proxy = AuthorityProxy::new(&connection).await?;

    let subject = Subject::new_for_owner(std::process::id(), None, None)?;

    let result = proxy.check_authorization(

        &subject,

        "org.zbus.BeAwesome",

        &std::collections::HashMap::new(),

        CheckAuthorizationFlags::AllowUserInteraction.into(),

        "",

    ).await?;

    Ok(())

}

```
