36 * @short_description: An object representing the permission to perform
39 * A #GPermission represents the status of the caller's permission to
40 * perform a certain action.
42 * You can query if the action is currently allowed and if it is
43 * possible to acquire the permission so that the action will be allowed
46 * There is also an API to actually acquire the permission and one to
49 * As an example, a #GPermission might represent the ability for the
50 * user to write to a #GSettings object. This #GPermission object could
51 * then be used to decide if it is appropriate to show a "Click here to
52 * unlock" button in a dialog and to provide the mechanism to invoke
53 * when that button is clicked.
59 * #GPermission is an opaque data structure and can only be accessed
60 * using the following functions.
63 G_DEFINE_ABSTRACT_TYPE (GPermission, g_permission, G_TYPE_OBJECT)
65 struct _GPermissionPrivate
80 * g_permission_acquire:
81 * @permission: a #GPermission instance
82 * @cancellable: (allow-none): a #GCancellable, or %NULL
83 * @error: a pointer to a %NULL #GError, or %NULL
85 * Attempts to acquire the permission represented by @permission.
87 * The precise method by which this happens depends on the permission
88 * and the underlying authentication mechanism. A simple example is
89 * that a dialog may appear asking the user to enter their password.
91 * You should check with g_permission_get_can_acquire() before calling
94 * If the permission is acquired then %TRUE is returned. Otherwise,
95 * %FALSE is returned and @error is set appropriately.
97 * This call is blocking, likely for a very long time (in the case that
98 * user interaction is required). See g_permission_acquire_async() for
99 * the non-blocking version.
