Minimalist's polkit agent

Holo Polkit Agent

Polkit agent that uses whatever dmenu compatible command you provide as a prompt.

MAY THEE BE WARNED:

As of right now this is very much a proof of concept, I'm not sure how secure is it to use this thing. Also it might just crash or leak memory.

Usage

Add this command to your compositor startup script or .xinitrc:
holopk <menu command, inlined>

ie.
holopk dmenu
holopk bemenu --password indicator
holopk fuzzel --dmenu

Example from my Hyprland config

exec-once = holopk fuzzel --dmenu --password=● --lines 0

Building

    git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/czadowanie/holopk
    cd holopk
    meson setup build --prefix=$HOME/.local --buildtype=minsize
    cd build
    meson install

Question to people who know polkit better than me

Is it important to be able to pick identities?
