Fprintd is a D-Bus daemon that offers libfprint functionality over
|
|
the D-Bus interprocess communication bus. By adding this daemon
|
|
layer above libfprint, we solve various problems related to multiple
|
|
applications simultaneously competing for fingerprint readers.
|
|
|
|
While it is not very nice to think of a daemon being necessary in
|
|
this scenario, fprintd will be launched by D-Bus through the
|
|
activation mechanism. This means it is launched only when needed,
|
|
and additionally it will shut itself down after a period of inactivity.
