Permission.acquire

Attempts to acquire the permission represented by permission. The precise method by which this happens depends on the permission and the underlying authentication mechanism. A simple example is that a dialog may appear asking the user to enter their password. You should check with g_permission_get_can_acquire() before calling this function. If the permission is acquired then TRUE is returned. Otherwise, FALSE is returned and error is set appropriately. This call is blocking, likely for a very long time (in the case that user interaction is required). See g_permission_acquire_async() for the non-blocking version. Since 2.26
