Description

SecretItem represents a secret item stored in the Secret Service.

Each item has a value, represented by a SecretValue, which can be retrieved by secret_item_get_secret() or set by secret_item_set_secret(). The item is only available when the item is not locked.

Items can be locked or unlocked using the secret_service_lock() or secret_service_unlock() functions. The Secret Service may not be able to unlock individual items, and may unlock an entire collection when a single item is unlocked.

Each item has a set of attributes, which are used to locate the item later. These are not stored or transferred in a secure manner. Each attribute has a string name and a string value. Use secret_service_search() to search for items based on their attributes, and secret_item_set_attributes to change the attributes associated with an item.

Items can be created with secret_item_create() or secret_service_store().

callback :

called when the operation completes

user_data :

Finish asynchronous operation to get a new item proxy for an secret item in the secret service.

result :

the asynchronous result passed to the callback

error :

location to place an error on failure

Returns :

the new item, which should be unreferenced with g_object_unref(). [transfer full]

secret_item_new_sync ()

SecretItem *        secret_item_new_sync                (SecretService *service,

Get a new item proxy for a secret item in the secret service.

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

service :

a secret service object

item_path :

the D-Bus path of the item

cancellable :

optional cancellation object

error :

location to place an error on failure

Create a new item in the secret service.

If the replace is set to TRUE, then the secret service will search for an item matching the attributes, and update that item instead of creating a new one.

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.

Property Details

The "attributes" property

  "attributes"               GHashTable*           : Read / Write

The attributes set on this item. Attributes are used to locate an item. They are not guaranteed to be stored or transferred securely.


The "created" property

  "created"                  guint64               : Read / Write

The date and time (in seconds since the UNIX epoch) that this item was created.

  "label"                    gchar*                : Read / Write

The human readable label for the item.

Setting this property will result in the label of the item being set asynchronously. To properly track the changing of the label use the secret_item_set_label() function.

To lock or unlock a item use the secret_service_lock() or secret_service_unlock() functions.

Default value: TRUE


The "modified" property

  "modified"                 guint64               : Read / Write
