Description

SecretCollection represents a collection of secret items stored in the Secret Service.

A collection can be in a locked or unlocked state. Use secret_service_lock() or secret_service_unlock() to lock or unlock the collection.

Use the SecretCollection::items property or secret_collection_get_items() to lookup the items in the collection. There may not be any items exposed when the collection is locked.

These functions have an unstable API and may change across versions. Use libsecret-unstable package to access them.

Details

SecretCollection

typedef struct _SecretCollection SecretCollection;

A proxy object representing a collection of secrets in the Secret Service.

struct SecretCollectionClass

struct SecretCollectionClass {
	GDBusProxyClass parent_class;
};

The class for SecretCollection.

GDBusProxyClass parent_class;

the parent class

enum SecretCollectionFlags

typedef enum {
	SECRET_COLLECTION_NONE = 0,
	SECRET_COLLECTION_LOAD_ITEMS = 1 << 1,
} SecretCollectionFlags;

Flags which determine which parts of the SecretCollection proxy are initialized.

`SECRET_COLLECTION_NONE`	no flags
`SECRET_COLLECTION_LOAD_ITEMS`	items have or should be loaded

secret_collection_for_alias ()

void                secret_collection_for_alias         (SecretService *service,
                                                         const gchar *alias,

                                                         gpointer user_data);

Lookup which collection is assigned to this alias. Aliases help determine well known collections, such as 'default'.

If service is NULL, then secret_service_get() will be called to get the default SecretService proxy.

This method will return immediately and complete asynchronously.

`service` :	a secret service object. [allow-none]
`alias` :	the alias to lookup
`flags` :	options for the collection initialization
`cancellable` :	optional cancellation object. [allow-none]
`callback` :	called when the operation completes
`user_data` :	data to pass to the callback

secret_collection_for_alias_finish ()

SecretCollection *  secret_collection_for_alias_finish  (GAsyncResult *result,
                                                         GError **error);

Finish an asynchronous operation to lookup which collection is assigned to an alias.

`result` :	asynchronous result passed to callback
`error` :	location to place error on failure
Returns :	the collection, or `NULL` if none assigned to the alias. [transfer full]

secret_collection_for_alias_sync ()

SecretCollection *  secret_collection_for_alias_sync    (SecretService *service,
                                                         const gchar *alias,

                                                         GError **error);

Lookup which collection is assigned to this alias. Aliases help determine well known collections, such as 'default'.

If service is NULL, then secret_service_get_sync() will be called to get the default SecretService proxy.

This method may block and should not be used in user interface threads.

`service` :	a secret service object. [allow-none]
`alias` :	the alias to lookup
`flags` :	options for the collection initialization
`cancellable` :	optional cancellation object. [allow-none]
`error` :	location to place error on failure
Returns :	the collection, or `NULL` if none assigned to the alias. [transfer full]

secret_collection_load_items ()

void                secret_collection_load_items        (SecretCollection *self,
                                                         GCancellable *cancellable,
                                                         GAsyncReadyCallback callback,
                                                         gpointer user_data);

Ensure that the SecretCollection proxy has loaded all the items present in the Secret Service. This affects the result of secret_collection_get_items().

For collections returned from secret_service_get_collections() the items will have already been loaded.

This method will return immediately and complete asynchronously.

`self` :	the secret collection
`cancellable` :	optional cancellation object
`callback` :	called when the operation completes
`user_data` :	data to be passed to the callback

secret_collection_load_items_finish ()

gboolean            secret_collection_load_items_finish (SecretCollection *self,
                                                         GAsyncResult *result,
                                                         GError **error);

Complete an asynchronous operation to ensure that the SecretCollection proxy has loaded all the items present in the Secret Service.

`self` :	the secret collection
`result` :	the asynchronous result passed to the callback
`error` :	location to place an error on failure
Returns :	whether the load was successful or not

secret_collection_load_items_sync ()

gboolean            secret_collection_load_items_sync   (SecretCollection *self,
                                                         GCancellable *cancellable,
                                                         GError **error);

Ensure that the SecretCollection proxy has loaded all the items present in the Secret Service. This affects the result of secret_collection_get_items().

For collections returned from secret_service_get_collections() the items will have already been loaded.

This method may block indefinitely and should not be used in user interface threads.

`self` :	the secret collection
`cancellable` :	optional cancellation object
`error` :	location to place an error on failure
Returns :	whether the load was successful or not

secret_collection_create ()

void                secret_collection_create            (SecretService *service,
                                                         const gchar *label,
                                                         const gchar *alias,
                                                         SecretCollectionCreateFlags flags,
                                                         GCancellable *cancellable,
                                                         GAsyncReadyCallback callback,
                                                         gpointer user_data);

Create a new collection in the secret service.

This method returns immediately and completes asynchronously. The secret service may prompt the user. secret_service_prompt() will be used to handle any prompts that are required.

An alias is a well-known tag for a collection, such as 'default' (ie: the default collection to store items in). This allows other applications to easily identify and share a collection. If you specify an alias, and a collection with that alias already exists, then a new collection will not be created. The previous one will be returned instead.

If service is NULL, then secret_service_get() will be called to get the default SecretService proxy.

`service` :	a secret service object. [allow-none]
`label` :	label for the new collection
`alias` :	alias to assign to the collection. [allow-none]
`flags` :	currently unused
`cancellable` :	optional cancellation object
`callback` :	called when the operation completes
`user_data` :	data to pass to the callback

secret_collection_create_finish ()

SecretCollection *  secret_collection_create_finish     (GAsyncResult *result,
                                                         GError **error);

Finish operation to create a new collection in the secret service.

`result` :	the asynchronous result passed to the callback
`error` :	location to place an error on failure
Returns :	the new collection, which should be unreferenced with `g_object_unref()`. [transfer full]

Create a new collection in the secret service.

This method may block indefinitely and should not be used in user interface threads. The secret service may prompt the user. secret_service_prompt() will be used to handle any prompts that are required.

If service is NULL, then secret_service_get_sync() will be called to get the default SecretService proxy.

Search for items matching the attributes in the collection. The attributes should be a table of string keys and string values.

If SECRET_SEARCH_ALL is set in flags, then all the items matching the search will be returned. Otherwise only the first item will be returned. This is almost always the unlocked item that was most recently stored.

If SECRET_SEARCH_UNLOCK is set in flags, then items will be unlocked if necessary. In either case, locked and unlocked items will match the search and be returned. If the unlock fails, the search does not fail.

If SECRET_SEARCH_LOAD_SECRETS is set in flags, then the items will have their secret values loaded and available via secret_item_get_secret().

This function returns immediately and completes asynchronously.
