Description

Warning

All of these APIs are deprecated. Use libsecret instead.

Attributes allow various other pieces of information to be associated with an item. These can also be used to search for relevant items. Use gnome_keyring_item_get_attributes() or gnome_keyring_item_set_attributes().

Attributes are not stored in a secret or encrypted manner by gnome-keyring. Do not store sensitive information in attributes.

Each attribute has either a string, or unsigned integer value.

Details

enum GnomeKeyringAttributeType

typedef enum {
	GNOME_KEYRING_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_STRING,
	GNOME_KEYRING_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_UINT32
} GnomeKeyringAttributeType;

Warning

GnomeKeyringAttributeType is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

The data type of the item attribute.

GNOME_KEYRING_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_STRING

A UTF-8 encoded string attribute.

GNOME_KEYRING_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_UINT32

A unsigned integer attribute.

GnomeKeyringAttributeList

typedef GArray GnomeKeyringAttributeList;

Warning

GnomeKeyringAttributeList is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.


GnomeKeyringAttribute

typedef struct {
	char *name;
	GnomeKeyringAttributeType type;
	union {
		char *string;
		guint32 integer;
	} value;
} GnomeKeyringAttribute;

Warning

GnomeKeyringAttribute is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. libsecret only supports string attributes.

An item attribute. Set string if data type is GNOME_KEYRING_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_STRING or integer if data type is GNOME_KEYRING_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_UINT32

char *name;

The name of the attribute.

GnomeKeyringAttributeType type;

The data type.

gnome_keyring_attribute_list_index()

#define             gnome_keyring_attribute_list_index(a, i)

Warning

gnome_keyring_attribute_list_index is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.


gnome_keyring_attribute_list_new ()

GnomeKeyringAttributeList * gnome_keyring_attribute_list_new
                                                        (void);

Warning

gnome_keyring_attribute_list_new is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. libsecret stores attributes as a GHashTable containing string keys and values; use g_hash_table_new() instead.

Create a new GnomeKeyringAttributeList.

Returns :

The new GnomeKeyringAttributeList. [transfer full]

gnome_keyring_attribute_list_append_string ()

void                gnome_keyring_attribute_list_append_string
                                                        (GnomeKeyringAttributeList *attributes,
                                                         const char *name,
                                                         const char *value);

Warning

gnome_keyring_attribute_list_append_string is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. libsecret stores attributes as a GHashTable containing string keys and values, use g_hash_table_replace() instead.

Store a key-value-pair with a string value in attributes.

attributes :

A GnomeKeyringAttributeList

name :

The name of the new attribute

value :

The value to store in attributes

gnome_keyring_attribute_list_append_uint32 ()

void                gnome_keyring_attribute_list_append_uint32
                                                        (GnomeKeyringAttributeList *attributes,
                                                         const char *name,
                                                         guint32 value);

Warning

gnome_keyring_attribute_list_append_uint32 is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. libsecret does not support number attributes.

Store a key-value-pair with an unsigned 32bit number value in attributes.

attributes :

A GnomeKeyringAttributeList

name :

The name of the new attribute

value :

The value to store in attributes

gnome_keyring_attribute_list_free ()

void                gnome_keyring_attribute_list_free   (GnomeKeyringAttributeList *attributes);

Warning

gnome_keyring_attribute_list_free is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. libsecret stores attributes as a GHashTable containing string keys and values, use g_hash_table_unref() instead.

Free the memory used by attributes.

If a NULL pointer is passed, it is ignored.

attributes :

A GnomeKeyringAttributeList

gnome_keyring_attribute_list_copy ()

GnomeKeyringAttributeList * gnome_keyring_attribute_list_copy
                                                        (GnomeKeyringAttributeList *attributes);

Warning

gnome_keyring_attribute_list_copy is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. Not needed when using libsecret.

Copy a list of item attributes.

attributes :

A GnomeKeyringAttributeList to copy.

Returns :

The new GnomeKeyringAttributeList. [transfer full]

gnome_keyring_attribute_get_string ()

const gchar *       gnome_keyring_attribute_get_string  (GnomeKeyringAttribute *attribute);

Warning

gnome_keyring_attribute_get_string is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. Not needed when using libsecret.

Return the string value. It is an error to call this method if attribute.type is not GNOME_KEYRING_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_STRING. This method is mostly useful for language bindings which do not provide union access. In C you should just use attribute->value.string.

attribute :

a GnomeKeyringAttribute

Returns :

The value.string pointer of attribute. This is not a copy, do not free. [transfer none]

gnome_keyring_attribute_get_uint32 ()

guint32             gnome_keyring_attribute_get_uint32  (GnomeKeyringAttribute *attribute);

Warning

gnome_keyring_attribute_get_uint32 is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. Not needed when using libsecret.

Return the uint32 value. It is an error to call this method if attribute.type is not GNOME_KEYRING_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_UINT32. This method is mostly useful for language bindings which do not provide union access. In C you should just use attribute->value.integer.

attribute :

a GnomeKeyringAttribute

Returns :

The value.integer of attribute.
