/**
 * @class Action kauthaction.h <KAuthAction>
 *
 * @brief Class to access, authorize and execute actions.
 *
 * This is the main class of the kauth API. It provides the interface to
 * manipulate actions. Every action is identified by its name. Every instance
 * of the Action class with the same name refers to the same action.
 *
 * Once you have an action object you can tell the helper to execute it
 * (asking the user to authenticate if needed) with the execute() method.
 * The simplest thing to do is to execute a single action synchronously
 * blocking for the reply by callin exec() on the job object returned by
 * execute().
 *
 * For asynchronous calls, use KAuth::ExecuteJob::start() instead.
 * It sends the request
 * to the helper and returns immediately. Before doing so you should however
 * connect to at least the KJob::result(KJob *) signal to receive a slot call
 * once the action is done executing.
 *
 * To use the execute() method you have to set the default helper's ID using
 * the setHelperID() static method. Alternatively, you can specify the helperID using
 * the overloaded version of the methods that takes it as a parameter.
 *
 * Each action object contains a QVariantMap object that is passed directly to the
 * helper when the action is executed. You can access this map using the arguments()
 * method. You can insert into it any kind of custom data you need to pass to the helper.
 *
 * @code
 * void MyApp::runAction()
 * {
 *     action = KAuth::Action("org.kde.myapp.action");
 *     KAuth::ExecuteJob *job = action.execute();
 *     connect(job, &KAuth::ExecuteJob::result, this, &MyApp::actionResult);
 *     job->start();
 * }
 *
 * void MyApp::actionResult(KJob *kjob)
 * {
 *     auto job = qobject_cast<KAuth::ExecuteJob *>(kjob);
 *     qDebug() << job.error() << job.data();
 * }
 * @endcode
