Class (GI Class)

Secret-1SecretService

A proxy object representing the Secret Service.

A Secret.Service object either represents an implementation of the org.freedesktop.Secret D-Bus service or a file that is encrypted using a master secret that was provided by the secret portal.

Normally a single Secret.Service object can be shared between multiple callers. The Service.get method is used to access this Secret.Service object. If a new independent Secret.Service object is required, use Service.open.

In order to securely transfer secrets to the Sercret Service, a session is established. This session can be established while initializing a Secret.Service object by passing the Secret.ServiceFlags.OPEN_SESSION flag to the Service.get or Service.open functions. In order to establish a session on an already existing Secret.Service, use the Service.ensure_session function.

To search for items, use the Service.search method.

Multiple collections can exist in the Secret Service, each of which contains secret items. In order to instantiate Collection objects which represent those collections while initializing a Secret.Service then pass the Secret.ServiceFlags.LOAD_COLLECTIONS flag to the Service.get or Service.open functions. In order to establish a session on an already existing Secret.Service, use the Service.load_collections function. To access the list of collections use Service.get_collections.

Certain actions on the Secret Service require user prompting to complete, such as creating a collection, or unlocking a collection. When such a prompt is necessary, then a Prompt object is created by this library, and passed to the Service.prompt method. In this way it is handled automatically.

In order to customize prompt handling, override the Service.prompt_async and Service.prompt_finish virtual methods of the Secret.Service class.

  • get g_default_timeout(): number

    The timeout to use if -1 (specifying default timeout) is passed as timeout_msec in the g_dbus_proxy_call() and g_dbus_proxy_call_sync() functions.

    This allows applications to set a proxy-wide timeout for all remote method invocations on the proxy. If this property is -1, the default timeout (typically 25 seconds) is used. If set to G_MAXINT, then no timeout is used.

    Returns number

    2.26

  • set g_default_timeout(val: number): void

    Parameters

    • val: number

    Returns void

  • get g_interface_info(): DBusInterfaceInfo

    Ensure that interactions with this proxy conform to the given interface. This is mainly to ensure that malformed data received from the other peer is ignored. The given Gio.DBusInterfaceInfo is said to be the "expected interface".

    The checks performed are:

    • When completing a method call, if the type signature of the reply message isn't what's expected, the reply is discarded and the GLib.Error is set to Gio.IOErrorEnum.INVALID_ARGUMENT.

    • Received signals that have a type signature mismatch are dropped and a warning is logged via g_warning().

    • Properties received via the initial GetAll() call or via the ::PropertiesChanged signal (on the org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties interface) or set using g_dbus_proxy_set_cached_property() with a type signature mismatch are ignored and a warning is logged via g_warning().

    Note that these checks are never done on methods, signals and properties that are not referenced in the given Gio.DBusInterfaceInfo, since extending a D-Bus interface on the service-side is not considered an ABI break.

    Returns DBusInterfaceInfo

    2.26

Methods

  • Creates a binding between source_property on source and target_property on target.

    Whenever the source_property is changed the target_property is updated using the same value. For instance:

      g_object_bind_property (action, "active", widget, "sensitive", 0);
    

    Will result in the "sensitive" property of the widget GObject.Object instance to be updated with the same value of the "active" property of the action GObject.Object instance.

    If flags contains GObject.BindingFlags.BIDIRECTIONAL then the binding will be mutual: if target_property on target changes then the source_property on source will be updated as well.

    The binding will automatically be removed when either the source or the target instances are finalized. To remove the binding without affecting the source and the target you can just call g_object_unref() on the returned GObject.Binding instance.

    Removing the binding by calling g_object_unref() on it must only be done if the binding, source and target are only used from a single thread and it is clear that both source and target outlive the binding. Especially it is not safe to rely on this if the binding, source or target can be finalized from different threads. Keep another reference to the binding and use g_binding_unbind() instead to be on the safe side.

    A GObject.Object can have multiple bindings.

    Parameters

    Returns GObject.Binding

    the GObject.Binding instance representing the binding between the two GObject.Object instances. The binding is released whenever the GObject.Binding reference count reaches zero.

  • Complete version of g_object_bind_property().

    Creates a binding between source_property on source and target_property on target, allowing you to set the transformation functions to be used by the binding.

    If flags contains GObject.BindingFlags.BIDIRECTIONAL then the binding will be mutual: if target_property on target changes then the source_property on source will be updated as well. The transform_from function is only used in case of bidirectional bindings, otherwise it will be ignored

    The binding will automatically be removed when either the source or the target instances are finalized. This will release the reference that is being held on the GObject.Binding instance; if you want to hold on to the GObject.Binding instance, you will need to hold a reference to it.

    To remove the binding, call g_binding_unbind().

    A GObject.Object can have multiple bindings.

    The same user_data parameter will be used for both transform_to and transform_from transformation functions; the notify function will be called once, when the binding is removed. If you need different data for each transformation function, please use g_object_bind_property_with_closures() instead.

    Parameters

    • source_property: string

      the property on source to bind

    • target: GObject.Object

      the target GObject.Object

    • target_property: string

      the property on target to bind

    • flags: GObject.BindingFlags

      flags to pass to GObject.Binding

    • Optionaltransform_to: BindingTransformFunc

      the transformation function from the source to the target, or null to use the default

    • Optionaltransform_from: BindingTransformFunc

      the transformation function from the target to the source, or null to use the default

    • Optionalnotify: DestroyNotify

      a function to call when disposing the binding, to free resources used by the transformation functions, or null if not required

    Returns GObject.Binding

    the GObject.Binding instance representing the binding between the two GObject.Object instances. The binding is released whenever the GObject.Binding reference count reaches zero.

  • Creates a binding between source_property on source and target_property on target, allowing you to set the transformation functions to be used by the binding.

    This function is the language bindings friendly version of g_object_bind_property_full(), using GClosures instead of function pointers.

    Parameters

    • ...args: never[]

      the property on source to bind

    Returns any

    the GObject.Binding instance representing the binding between the two GObject.Object instances. The binding is released whenever the GObject.Binding reference count reaches zero.

  • Remove unlocked items which match the attributes from the secret service.

    The attributes should be a set of key and value string pairs.

    If service is null, then Service.get will be called to get the default Service proxy.

    This method will return immediately and complete asynchronously.

    Parameters

    • schema: Schema

      the schema for the attributes

    • attributes: GLib.HashTable<string, string> | { [key: string]: any }

      the attribute keys and values

    • Optionalcancellable: Gio.Cancellable

      optional cancellation object

    Returns Promise<boolean>

  • Remove unlocked items which match the attributes from the secret service.

    The attributes should be a set of key and value string pairs.

    If service is null, then Service.get will be called to get the default Service proxy.

    This method will return immediately and complete asynchronously.

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • Remove unlocked items which match the attributes from the secret service.

    The attributes should be a set of key and value string pairs.

    If service is null, then Service.get will be called to get the default Service proxy.

    This method will return immediately and complete asynchronously.

    Parameters

    Returns void | Promise<boolean>

  • Finish asynchronous operation to remove items from the secret service.

    Parameters

    • result: Gio.AsyncResult

      the asynchronous result passed to the callback

    Returns boolean

    whether items were removed or not

  • Remove unlocked items which match the attributes from the secret service.

    The attributes should be a set of key and value string pairs.

    If service is null, then Service.get_sync will be called to get the default Service proxy.

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

    Parameters

    • schema: Schema

      the schema for the attributes

    • attributes: GLib.HashTable<string, string> | { [key: string]: any }

      the attribute keys and values

    • Optionalcancellable: Gio.Cancellable

      optional cancellation object

    Returns boolean

    whether items were removed or not

  • Create a new item in a secret service collection and return its D-Bus object path.

    It is often easier to use password_store_sync or Item.create_sync rather than using this function. Using this method requires that you setup a correct hash table of D-Bus properties for the new collection.

    If the flags contains Secret.ItemCreateFlags.REPLACE, then the secret service will search for an item matching the attributes, and update that item instead of creating a new one.

    properties is a set of properties for the new collection. The keys in the hash table should be interface.property strings like org.freedesktop.Secret.Item.Label. The values in the hash table should be GLib.Variant values of the properties.

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

    Parameters

    • collection_path: string

      the D-Bus path of the collection in which to create item

    • properties: GLib.HashTable<string, GLib.Variant<any>> | { [key: string]: any }

      hash table of D-Bus properties for the new collection

    • value: Secret.Value

      the secret value to store in the item

    • flags: Secret.ItemCreateFlags

      flags for the creation of the new item

    • Optionalcancellable: Gio.Cancellable

      optional cancellation object

    Returns string

    a new string containing the D-Bus object path of the item

  • Disconnects a handler from an instance so it will not be called during any future or currently ongoing emissions of the signal it has been connected to.

    Parameters

    • id: number

      Handler ID of the handler to be disconnected

    Returns void

  • Finish an asynchronous operation to ensure that the Secret.Service proxy has established a session with the Secret Service.

    Parameters

    • result: Gio.AsyncResult

      the asynchronous result passed to the callback

    Returns boolean

    whether a session is established or not

  • Ensure that the Secret.Service proxy has established a session with the Secret Service.

    This session is used to transfer secrets.

    It is not normally necessary to call this method, as the session is established as necessary. You can also pass the Secret.ServiceFlags.OPEN_SESSION to Service.get_sync in order to ensure that a session has been established by the time you get the Secret.Service proxy.

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

    Parameters

    Returns boolean

    whether a session is established or not

  • This function is intended for GObject.Object implementations to re-enforce a [floating][floating-ref] object reference. Doing this is seldom required: all GInitiallyUnowneds are created with a floating reference which usually just needs to be sunken by calling g_object_ref_sink().

    Returns void

  • Increases the freeze count on object. If the freeze count is non-zero, the emission of "notify" signals on object is stopped. The signals are queued until the freeze count is decreased to zero. Duplicate notifications are squashed so that at most one GObject.Object::notify signal is emitted for each property modified while the object is frozen.

    This is necessary for accessors that modify multiple properties to prevent premature notification while the object is still being modified.

    Returns void

  • Get the GObject type for collections instantiated by this service.

    This will always be either Collection or derived from it.

    Returns GType

    the gobject type for collections

  • Gets a named field from the objects table of associations (see g_object_set_data()).

    Parameters

    • key: string

      name of the key for that association

    Returns any

    the data if found, or null if no such data exists.

  • Get the GObject type for items instantiated by this service.

    This will always be either Item or derived from it.

    Returns GType

    the gobject type for items

  • Gets a property of an object.

    The value can be:

    • an empty GObject.Value initialized by G_VALUE_INIT, which will be automatically initialized with the expected type of the property (since GLib 2.60)
    • a GObject.Value initialized with the expected type of the property
    • a GObject.Value initialized with a type to which the expected type of the property can be transformed

    In general, a copy is made of the property contents and the caller is responsible for freeing the memory by calling GObject.Value.unset.

    Note that GObject.Object.get_property is really intended for language bindings, GObject.Object.get is much more convenient for C programming.

    Parameters

    • property_name: string

      The name of the property to get

    • value: any

      Return location for the property value. Can be an empty GObject.Value initialized by G_VALUE_INIT (auto-initialized with expected type since GLib 2.60), a GObject.Value initialized with the expected property type, or a GObject.Value initialized with a transformable type

    Returns any

  • Get the set of algorithms being used to transfer secrets between this secret service proxy and the Secret Service itself.

    This will be null if no session has been established. Use Service.ensure_session to establish a session.

    Returns string

    a string representing the algorithms for transferring secrets

  • Get the D-Bus object path of the session object being used to transfer secrets between this secret service proxy and the Secret Service itself.

    This will be null if no session has been established. Use Service.ensure_session to establish a session.

    Returns string

    a string representing the D-Bus object path of the session

  • Gets n_properties properties for an object. Obtained properties will be set to values. All properties must be valid. Warnings will be emitted and undefined behaviour may result if invalid properties are passed in.

    Parameters

    • names: string[]

      the names of each property to get

    • values: any[]

      the values of each property to get

    Returns void

  • Initializes the object implementing the interface.

    This method is intended for language bindings. If writing in C, g_initable_new() should typically be used instead.

    The object must be initialized before any real use after initial construction, either with this function or g_async_initable_init_async().

    Implementations may also support cancellation. If cancellable is not null, then initialization can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error Gio.IOErrorEnum.CANCELLED will be returned. If cancellable is not null and the object doesn't support cancellable initialization the error Gio.IOErrorEnum.NOT_SUPPORTED will be returned.

    If the object is not initialized, or initialization returns with an error, then all operations on the object except g_object_ref() and g_object_unref() are considered to be invalid, and have undefined behaviour. See the [description][iface@Gio.Initable#description] for more details.

    Callers should not assume that a class which implements Gio.Initable can be initialized multiple times, unless the class explicitly documents itself as supporting this. Generally, a class’ implementation of init() can assume (and assert) that it will only be called once. Previously, this documentation recommended all Gio.Initable implementations should be idempotent; that recommendation was relaxed in GLib 2.54.

    If a class explicitly supports being initialized multiple times, it is recommended that the method is idempotent: multiple calls with the same arguments should return the same results. Only the first call initializes the object; further calls return the result of the first call.

    One reason why a class might need to support idempotent initialization is if it is designed to be used via the singleton pattern, with a GObject.ObjectClass.constructor that sometimes returns an existing instance. In this pattern, a caller would expect to be able to call g_initable_init() on the result of g_object_new(), regardless of whether it is in fact a new instance.

    Parameters

    Returns boolean

    true if successful. If an error has occurred, this function will return false and set error appropriately if present.

  • Starts asynchronous initialization of the object implementing the interface. This must be done before any real use of the object after initial construction. If the object also implements Gio.Initable you can optionally call g_initable_init() instead.

    This method is intended for language bindings. If writing in C, g_async_initable_new_async() should typically be used instead.

    When the initialization is finished, callback will be called. You can then call g_async_initable_init_finish() to get the result of the initialization.

    Implementations may also support cancellation. If cancellable is not null, then initialization can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error Gio.IOErrorEnum.CANCELLED will be returned. If cancellable is not null, and the object doesn't support cancellable initialization, the error Gio.IOErrorEnum.NOT_SUPPORTED will be returned.

    As with Gio.Initable, if the object is not initialized, or initialization returns with an error, then all operations on the object except g_object_ref() and g_object_unref() are considered to be invalid, and have undefined behaviour. They will often fail with g_critical() or g_warning(), but this must not be relied on.

    Callers should not assume that a class which implements Gio.AsyncInitable can be initialized multiple times; for more information, see g_initable_init(). If a class explicitly supports being initialized multiple times, implementation requires yielding all subsequent calls to init_async() on the results of the first call.

    For classes that also support the Gio.Initable interface, the default implementation of this method will run the g_initable_init() function in a thread, so if you want to support asynchronous initialization via threads, just implement the Gio.AsyncInitable interface without overriding any interface methods.

    Parameters

    Returns void | Promise<boolean>

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

    Parameters

    • result: Gio.AsyncResult

      the asynchronous result passed to the callback

    Returns boolean

    whether the load was successful or not

  • Complete asynchronous operation to lock items or collections in the secret service.

    The secret service may not be able to lock items individually, and may lock an entire collection instead.

    Parameters

    Returns [number, Gio.DBusProxy[]]

    the number of items or collections that were locked

  • Lock items or collections in the secret service.

    The secret service may not be able to lock items individually, and may lock an entire collection instead.

    If service is null, then Service.get_sync will be called to get the default Service proxy.

    This method may block indefinitely and should not be used in user interface threads. The secret service may prompt the user. Service.prompt will be used to handle any prompts that show up.

    Parameters

    Returns [number, Gio.DBusProxy[]]

    the number of items or collections that were locked

  • Lookup a secret value in the secret service.

    The attributes should be a set of key and value string pairs.

    If service is null, then Service.get_sync will be called to get the default Service proxy.

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

    Parameters

    • schema: Schema

      the schema for the attributes

    • attributes: GLib.HashTable<string, string> | { [key: string]: any }

      the attribute keys and values

    • Optionalcancellable: Gio.Cancellable

      optional cancellation object

    Returns Secret.Value

    a newly allocated Value, which should be released with Value.unref, or null if no secret found

  • Emits a "notify" signal for the property property_name on object.

    When possible, eg. when signaling a property change from within the class that registered the property, you should use g_object_notify_by_pspec() instead.

    Note that emission of the notify signal may be blocked with g_object_freeze_notify(). In this case, the signal emissions are queued and will be emitted (in reverse order) when g_object_thaw_notify() is called.

    Parameters

    • property_name: string

      the name of a property installed on the class of object.

    Returns void

  • Emits a "notify" signal for the property specified by pspec on object.

    This function omits the property name lookup, hence it is faster than g_object_notify().

    One way to avoid using g_object_notify() from within the class that registered the properties, and using g_object_notify_by_pspec() instead, is to store the GParamSpec used with g_object_class_install_property() inside a static array, e.g.:

      typedef enum
    {
    PROP_FOO = 1,
    PROP_LAST
    } MyObjectProperty;

    static GParamSpec *properties[PROP_LAST];

    static void

    }

    and then notify a change on the "foo" property with:

      g_object_notify_by_pspec (self, properties[PROP_FOO]);
    

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • Complete asynchronous operation to perform prompting for a Prompt.

    Returns a variant result if the prompt was completed and not dismissed. The type of result depends on the action the prompt is completing, and is defined in the Secret Service DBus API specification.

    Parameters

    • result: Gio.AsyncResult

      the asynchronous result passed to the callback

    Returns GLib.Variant

    null if the prompt was dismissed or an error occurred, a variant result if the prompt was successful

  • Perform prompting for a Prompt.

    Runs a prompt and performs the prompting. Returns a variant result if the prompt was completed and not dismissed. The type of result depends on the action the prompt is completing, and is defined in the Secret Service DBus API specification.

    This function is called by other parts of this library to handle prompts for the various actions that can require prompting.

    Override the Secret.ServiceClass Service.prompt_sync virtual method to change the behavior of the prompting. The default behavior is to simply run Prompt.perform_sync on the prompt with a null window_id.

    Parameters

    Returns GLib.Variant

    null if the prompt was dismissed or an error occurred, a variant result if the prompt was successful

  • Increases the reference count of object.

    Since GLib 2.56, if GLIB_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED is 2.56 or greater, the type of object will be propagated to the return type (using the GCC typeof() extension), so any casting the caller needs to do on the return type must be explicit.

    Returns GObject.Object

    the same object

  • Increase the reference count of object, and possibly remove the [floating][floating-ref] reference, if object has a floating reference.

    In other words, if the object is floating, then this call "assumes ownership" of the floating reference, converting it to a normal reference by clearing the floating flag while leaving the reference count unchanged. If the object is not floating, then this call adds a new normal reference increasing the reference count by one.

    Since GLib 2.56, the type of object will be propagated to the return type under the same conditions as for g_object_ref().

    Returns GObject.Object

    object

  • Search for items matching the attributes.

    All collections are searched. The attributes should be a table of string keys and string values.

    If service is null, then Service.get will be called to get the default Service proxy.

    If Secret.SearchFlags.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.SearchFlags.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.SearchFlags.LOAD_SECRETS is set in flags, then the items will have their secret values loaded and available via Item.get_secret.

    This function returns immediately and completes asynchronously.

    This function may block indefinitely. Use the asynchronous version in user interface threads.

    Parameters

    • schema: Schema

      the schema for the attributes

    • attributes: GLib.HashTable<string, string> | { [key: string]: any }

      search for items matching these attributes

    • flags: Secret.SearchFlags

      search option flags

    • Optionalcancellable: Gio.Cancellable

      optional cancellation object

    Returns Secret.Item[]

    a list of items that matched the search

  • Sets multiple properties of an object at once. The properties argument should be a dictionary mapping property names to values.

    Parameters

    • properties: { [key: string]: any }

      Object containing the properties to set

    Returns void

  • Assign a collection to this alias. Aliases help determine well known collections, such as 'default'.

    If service is null, then Service.get_sync will be called to get the default Service proxy.

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

    Parameters

    • alias: string

      the alias to assign the collection to

    • Optionalcollection: Secret.Collection

      the collection to assign to the alias

    • Optionalcancellable: Gio.Cancellable

      optional cancellation object

    Returns boolean

    true if successful

  • Each object carries around a table of associations from strings to pointers. This function lets you set an association.

    If the object already had an association with that name, the old association will be destroyed.

    Internally, the key is converted to a GLib.Quark using g_quark_from_string(). This means a copy of key is kept permanently (even after object has been finalized) — so it is recommended to only use a small, bounded set of values for key in your program, to avoid the GLib.Quark storage growing unbounded.

    Parameters

    • key: string

      name of the key

    • Optionaldata: any

      data to associate with that key

    Returns void

  • Remove a specified datum from the object's data associations, without invoking the association's destroy handler.

    Parameters

    • key: string

      name of the key

    Returns any

    the data if found, or null if no such data exists.

  • This function gets back user data pointers stored via g_object_set_qdata() and removes the data from object without invoking its destroy() function (if any was set). Usually, calling this function is only required to update user data pointers with a destroy notifier, for example:

    void
    object_add_to_user_list (GObject *object,
    const gchar *new_string)
    {
    // the quark, naming the object data
    GQuark quark_string_list = g_quark_from_static_string ("my-string-list");
    // retrieve the old string list
    GList *list = g_object_steal_qdata (object, quark_string_list);

    // prepend new string
    list = g_list_prepend (list, g_strdup (new_string));
    // this changed 'list', so we need to set it again
    g_object_set_qdata_full (object, quark_string_list, list, free_string_list);
    }
    static void
    free_string_list (gpointer data)
    {
    GList *node, *list = data;

    for (node = list; node; node = node->next)
    g_free (node->data);
    g_list_free (list);
    }

    Using g_object_get_qdata() in the above example, instead of g_object_steal_qdata() would have left the destroy function set, and thus the partial string list would have been freed upon g_object_set_qdata_full().

    Parameters

    • quark: number

      A GLib.Quark, naming the user data pointer

    Returns any

    The user data pointer set, or null

  • Reverts the effect of a previous call to g_object_freeze_notify(). The freeze count is decreased on object and when it reaches zero, queued "notify" signals are emitted.

    Duplicate notifications for each property are squashed so that at most one GObject.Object::notify signal is emitted for each property, in the reverse order in which they have been queued.

    It is an error to call this function when the freeze count is zero.

    Returns void

  • Complete asynchronous operation to unlock items or collections in the secret service.

    The secret service may not be able to unlock items individually, and may unlock an entire collection instead.

    Parameters

    Returns [number, Gio.DBusProxy[]]

    the number of items or collections that were unlocked

  • Unlock items or collections in the secret service.

    The secret service may not be able to unlock items individually, and may unlock an entire collection instead.

    If service is null, then Service.get_sync will be called to get the default Service proxy.

    This method may block indefinitely and should not be used in user interface threads. The secret service may prompt the user. Service.prompt will be used to handle any prompts that show up.

    Parameters

    Returns [number, Gio.DBusProxy[]]

    the number of items or collections that were unlocked

  • Decreases the reference count of object. When its reference count drops to 0, the object is finalized (i.e. its memory is freed).

    If the pointer to the GObject.Object may be reused in future (for example, if it is an instance variable of another object), it is recommended to clear the pointer to null rather than retain a dangling pointer to a potentially invalid GObject.Object instance. Use g_clear_object() for this.

    Returns void

  • the constructed function is called by g_object_new() as the final step of the object creation process. At the point of the call, all construction properties have been set on the object. The purpose of this call is to allow for object initialisation steps that can only be performed after construction properties have been set. constructed implementors should chain up to the constructed call of their parent class to allow it to complete its initialisation.

    Returns void

  • the dispose function is supposed to drop all references to other objects, but keep the instance otherwise intact, so that client method invocations still work. It may be run multiple times (due to reference loops). Before returning, dispose should chain up to the dispose method of the parent class.

    Returns void

  • Initializes the object implementing the interface.

    This method is intended for language bindings. If writing in C, g_initable_new() should typically be used instead.

    The object must be initialized before any real use after initial construction, either with this function or g_async_initable_init_async().

    Implementations may also support cancellation. If cancellable is not null, then initialization can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error Gio.IOErrorEnum.CANCELLED will be returned. If cancellable is not null and the object doesn't support cancellable initialization the error Gio.IOErrorEnum.NOT_SUPPORTED will be returned.

    If the object is not initialized, or initialization returns with an error, then all operations on the object except g_object_ref() and g_object_unref() are considered to be invalid, and have undefined behaviour. See the [description][iface@Gio.Initable#description] for more details.

    Callers should not assume that a class which implements Gio.Initable can be initialized multiple times, unless the class explicitly documents itself as supporting this. Generally, a class’ implementation of init() can assume (and assert) that it will only be called once. Previously, this documentation recommended all Gio.Initable implementations should be idempotent; that recommendation was relaxed in GLib 2.54.

    If a class explicitly supports being initialized multiple times, it is recommended that the method is idempotent: multiple calls with the same arguments should return the same results. Only the first call initializes the object; further calls return the result of the first call.

    One reason why a class might need to support idempotent initialization is if it is designed to be used via the singleton pattern, with a GObject.ObjectClass.constructor that sometimes returns an existing instance. In this pattern, a caller would expect to be able to call g_initable_init() on the result of g_object_new(), regardless of whether it is in fact a new instance.

    Parameters

    Returns boolean

  • Starts asynchronous initialization of the object implementing the interface. This must be done before any real use of the object after initial construction. If the object also implements Gio.Initable you can optionally call g_initable_init() instead.

    This method is intended for language bindings. If writing in C, g_async_initable_new_async() should typically be used instead.

    When the initialization is finished, callback will be called. You can then call g_async_initable_init_finish() to get the result of the initialization.

    Implementations may also support cancellation. If cancellable is not null, then initialization can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error Gio.IOErrorEnum.CANCELLED will be returned. If cancellable is not null, and the object doesn't support cancellable initialization, the error Gio.IOErrorEnum.NOT_SUPPORTED will be returned.

    As with Gio.Initable, if the object is not initialized, or initialization returns with an error, then all operations on the object except g_object_ref() and g_object_unref() are considered to be invalid, and have undefined behaviour. They will often fail with g_critical() or g_warning(), but this must not be relied on.

    Callers should not assume that a class which implements Gio.AsyncInitable can be initialized multiple times; for more information, see g_initable_init(). If a class explicitly supports being initialized multiple times, implementation requires yielding all subsequent calls to init_async() on the results of the first call.

    For classes that also support the Gio.Initable interface, the default implementation of this method will run the g_initable_init() function in a thread, so if you want to support asynchronous initialization via threads, just implement the Gio.AsyncInitable interface without overriding any interface methods.

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • Emits a "notify" signal for the property property_name on object.

    When possible, eg. when signaling a property change from within the class that registered the property, you should use g_object_notify_by_pspec() instead.

    Note that emission of the notify signal may be blocked with g_object_freeze_notify(). In this case, the signal emissions are queued and will be emitted (in reverse order) when g_object_thaw_notify() is called.

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • Complete asynchronous operation to perform prompting for a Prompt.

    Returns a variant result if the prompt was completed and not dismissed. The type of result depends on the action the prompt is completing, and is defined in the Secret Service DBus API specification.

    Parameters

    • result: Gio.AsyncResult

      the asynchronous result passed to the callback

    Returns GLib.Variant

  • the generic setter for all properties of this type. Should be overridden for every type with properties. If implementations of set_property don't emit property change notification explicitly, this will be done implicitly by the type system. However, if the notify signal is emitted explicitly, the type system will not emit it a second time.

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • This function essentially limits the life time of the closure to the life time of the object. That is, when the object is finalized, the closure is invalidated by calling g_closure_invalidate() on it, in order to prevent invocations of the closure with a finalized (nonexisting) object. Also, g_object_ref() and g_object_unref() are added as marshal guards to the closure, to ensure that an extra reference count is held on object during invocation of the closure. Usually, this function will be called on closures that use this object as closure data.

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • Disconnect the default Secret.Service proxy returned by Service.get and Service.get_sync.

    It is not necessary to call this function, but you may choose to do so at program exit. It is useful for testing that memory is not leaked.

    This function is safe to call at any time. But if other objects in this library are still referenced, then this will not result in all memory being freed.

    Returns void

  • Get a Secret.Service proxy for the Secret Service.

    If such a proxy object already exists, then the same proxy is returned.

    If flags contains any flags of which parts of the secret service to ensure are initialized, then those will be initialized before returning.

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

    Parameters

    Returns Secret.Service

  • Create a new Secret.Service proxy for the Secret Service.

    This function is rarely used, see Service.get instead.

    The service_gtype argument should be set to SECRET_TYPE_SERVICE or a the type of a derived class.

    If flags contains any flags of which parts of the secret service to ensure are initialized, then those will be initialized before returning.

    If service_bus_name is null then the default is used.

    This method will return immediately and complete asynchronously.

    Parameters

    • service_gtype: GType

      the GType of the new secret service

    • service_bus_name: string

      the D-Bus service name of the secret service

    • flags: Secret.ServiceFlags

      flags for which service functionality to ensure is initialized

    • Optionalcancellable: Gio.Cancellable

      optional cancellation object

    • Optionalcallback: AsyncReadyCallback<Secret.Service>

      called when the operation completes

    Returns void

  • Create a new Secret.Service proxy for the Secret Service.

    If flags contains any flags of which parts of the secret service to ensure are initialized, then those will be initialized before returning.

    If service_bus_name is null then the default is used.

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

    Parameters

    • service_gtype: GType

      the GType of the new secret service

    • service_bus_name: string

      the D-Bus service name of the secret service

      flags for which service functionality to ensure is initialized

    • Optionalcancellable: Gio.Cancellable

      optional cancellation object

    Returns Secret.Service

Methods - Inherited from Gio

  • Asynchronously invokes the method_name method on proxy.

    If method_name contains any dots, then name is split into interface and method name parts. This allows using proxy for invoking methods on other interfaces.

    If the Gio.DBusConnection associated with proxy is closed then the operation will fail with Gio.IOErrorEnum.CLOSED. If cancellable is canceled, the operation will fail with Gio.IOErrorEnum.CANCELLED. If parameters contains a value not compatible with the D-Bus protocol, the operation fails with Gio.IOErrorEnum.INVALID_ARGUMENT.

    If the parameters GLib.Variant is floating, it is consumed. This allows convenient 'inline' use of g_variant_new(), e.g.:

     g_dbus_proxy_call (proxy,
    "TwoStrings",
    g_variant_new ("(ss)",
    "Thing One",
    "Thing Two"),
    G_DBUS_CALL_FLAGS_NONE,
    -1,
    NULL,
    (GAsyncReadyCallback) two_strings_done,
    &data);

    If proxy has an expected interface (see Gio.DBusProxy.g_interface_info) and method_name is referenced by it, then the return value is checked against the return type.

    This is an asynchronous method. When the operation is finished, callback will be invoked in the thread-default main context (see GLib.MainContext.push_thread_default) of the thread you are calling this method from. You can then call g_dbus_proxy_call_finish() to get the result of the operation. See g_dbus_proxy_call_sync() for the synchronous version of this method.

    If callback is null then the D-Bus method call message will be sent with the Gio.DBusMessageFlags.NO_REPLY_EXPECTED flag set.

    Parameters

    Returns Promise<GLib.Variant<any>>

  • Asynchronously invokes the method_name method on proxy.

    If method_name contains any dots, then name is split into interface and method name parts. This allows using proxy for invoking methods on other interfaces.

    If the Gio.DBusConnection associated with proxy is closed then the operation will fail with Gio.IOErrorEnum.CLOSED. If cancellable is canceled, the operation will fail with Gio.IOErrorEnum.CANCELLED. If parameters contains a value not compatible with the D-Bus protocol, the operation fails with Gio.IOErrorEnum.INVALID_ARGUMENT.

    If the parameters GLib.Variant is floating, it is consumed. This allows convenient 'inline' use of g_variant_new(), e.g.:

     g_dbus_proxy_call (proxy,
    "TwoStrings",
    g_variant_new ("(ss)",
    "Thing One",
    "Thing Two"),
    G_DBUS_CALL_FLAGS_NONE,
    -1,
    NULL,
    (GAsyncReadyCallback) two_strings_done,
    &data);

    If proxy has an expected interface (see Gio.DBusProxy.g_interface_info) and method_name is referenced by it, then the return value is checked against the return type.

    This is an asynchronous method. When the operation is finished, callback will be invoked in the thread-default main context (see GLib.MainContext.push_thread_default) of the thread you are calling this method from. You can then call g_dbus_proxy_call_finish() to get the result of the operation. See g_dbus_proxy_call_sync() for the synchronous version of this method.

    If callback is null then the D-Bus method call message will be sent with the Gio.DBusMessageFlags.NO_REPLY_EXPECTED flag set.

    If proxy has an expected interface (see Gio.DBusProxy.g_interface_info) and method_name is referenced by it, then the return value is checked against the return type.

    This is an asynchronous method. When the operation is finished, callback will be invoked in the thread-default main context (see GLib.MainContext.push_thread_default) of the thread you are calling this method from. You can then call g_dbus_proxy_call_finish() to get the result of the operation. See g_dbus_proxy_call_sync() for the synchronous version of this method.

    If callback is null then the D-Bus method call message will be sent with the Gio.DBusMessageFlags.NO_REPLY_EXPECTED flag set.

    Parameters

    Returns void | Promise<GLib.Variant<any>>

  • Synchronously invokes the method_name method on proxy.

    If method_name contains any dots, then name is split into interface and method name parts. This allows using proxy for invoking methods on other interfaces.

    If the Gio.DBusConnection associated with proxy is disconnected then the operation will fail with Gio.IOErrorEnum.CLOSED. If cancellable is canceled, the operation will fail with Gio.IOErrorEnum.CANCELLED. If parameters contains a value not compatible with the D-Bus protocol, the operation fails with Gio.IOErrorEnum.INVALID_ARGUMENT.

    If the parameters GLib.Variant is floating, it is consumed. This allows convenient 'inline' use of g_variant_new(), e.g.:

     g_dbus_proxy_call_sync (proxy,
    "TwoStrings",
    g_variant_new ("(ss)",
    "Thing One",
    "Thing Two"),
    G_DBUS_CALL_FLAGS_NONE,
    -1,
    NULL,
    &error);

    The calling thread is blocked until a reply is received. See g_dbus_proxy_call() for the asynchronous version of this method.

    If proxy has an expected interface (see Gio.DBusProxy.g_interface_info) and method_name is referenced by it, then the return value is checked against the return type.

    Parameters

    Returns GLib.Variant

    null if error is set. Otherwise a GLib.Variant tuple with return values. Free with g_variant_unref().

  • Looks up the value for a property from the cache. This call does no blocking IO.

    If proxy has an expected interface (see Gio.DBusProxy.g_interface_info) and property_name is referenced by it, then value is checked against the type of the property.

    Parameters

    • property_name: string

      Property name.

    Returns GLib.Variant<any>

    A reference to the GLib.Variant instance that holds the value for property_name or null if the value is not in the cache. The returned reference must be freed with g_variant_unref().

  • Gets the names of all cached properties on proxy.

    Returns string[]

    A null-terminated array of strings or null if proxy has no cached properties. Free the returned array with g_strfreev().

  • Gets the name that proxy was constructed for.

    When connected to a message bus, this will usually be non-null. However, it may be null for a proxy that communicates using a peer-to-peer pattern.

    Returns string

    A string owned by proxy. Do not free.

  • If value is not null, sets the cached value for the property with name property_name to the value in value.

    If value is null, then the cached value is removed from the property cache.

    If proxy has an expected interface (see Gio.DBusProxy.g_interface_info) and property_name is referenced by it, then value is checked against the type of the property.

    If the value GLib.Variant is floating, it is consumed. This allows convenient 'inline' use of g_variant_new(), e.g.

     g_dbus_proxy_set_cached_property (proxy,
    "SomeProperty",
    g_variant_new ("(si)",
    "A String",
    42));

    Normally you will not need to use this method since proxy is tracking changes using the org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.PropertiesChanged D-Bus signal. However, for performance reasons an object may decide to not use this signal for some properties and instead use a proprietary out-of-band mechanism to transmit changes.

    As a concrete example, consider an object with a property ChatroomParticipants which is an array of strings. Instead of transmitting the same (long) array every time the property changes, it is more efficient to only transmit the delta using e.g. signals ChatroomParticipantJoined(String name) and ChatroomParticipantParted(String name).

    Parameters

    • property_name: string

      Property name.

    • Optionalvalue: GLib.Variant<any>

      Value for the property or null to remove it from the cache.

    Returns void

  • Signal class handler for the Gio.DBusProxy.SignalSignatures.g_signal | Gio.DBusProxy::g-signal signal.

    Parameters

    • sender_name: string
    • signal_name: string
    • parameters: GLib.Variant

    Returns void

  • Add a property to an interface; this is only useful for interfaces that are added to GObject-derived types. Adding a property to an interface forces all objects classes with that interface to have a compatible property. The compatible property could be a newly created GObject.ParamSpec, but normally g_object_class_override_property() will be used so that the object class only needs to provide an implementation and inherits the property description, default value, bounds, and so forth from the interface property.

    This function is meant to be called from the interface's default vtable initialization function (the class_init member of GObject.TypeInfo.) It must not be called after after class_init has been called for any object types implementing this interface.

    If pspec is a floating reference, it will be consumed.

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • Parameters

    • property_id: number

      the new property ID

    • name: string

      the name of a property registered in a parent class or in an interface of this class.

    Returns void
