NAME
       polkitd - PolicyKit daemon

SYNOPSIS
       polkitd

DESCRIPTION
       polkitd provides the org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1 D-Bus service on the
       system message bus. Users or administrators should never need to start
       this daemon as it will be automatically started by [dbus-daemon(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/dbus-daemon/1/markdown)
       whenever an application calls into the service.
