Update of /cvs/hal/hal/doc/spec
In directory gabe:/tmp/cvs-serv8139/doc/spec

Modified Files:
	hal-spec.html 
Log Message:
2004-09-27  David Zeuthen  <david at fubar.dk>

	* libhal/libhal.c:
	(struct LibHalContext_s): add is_shutdown field
	(filter_func): if ctx->is_shutdown is TRUE don't process the message.
	Return NOT_YET_HANDLED instead of HANDLED on all messages as several
	libhal contexts may want to process them.
	(hal_initialize): Set ctx->is_shutdown to FALSE
	(hal_shutdown): Remove the matching rule on the Manager object and
	set is_shutdown to TRUE. Don't fix the leak on the DBusConnection
	because leaking it means that the application will terminate. Hence
	introduce a leak of the LibHalContext since shutdown is async. Add
	a few TODO comments about that this needs fixing (probably needs
	dbus_bus_get_dedicated).

	* hald/hald_dbus.c (sender_has_superuser_privileges): New function
	(device_set_property): Require superuser
	(device_add_capability): Require superuser

	* hald/linux/block_class_device.c (block_class_pre_process): Add checks
	for SATA disks - code snippet from Alan Cox <alan at redhat.com>
