Crate secret

Rust bindings to libsecret. Many unix/linux systems utilize a secret service to securely store and retrieve passwords. Examples for such a SecretService are gnome-keyring and kwallet. This library provides methods to access the system's secret service in a platform independent matter. This is done by linking to libsecret, a library developed by the gnome project.

Structs

SecretCollection	SecretCollection represents a collection of secret items stored in the Secret Service. A collection can be in a locked or unlocked state. Use Lock::lock() or Lock::unlock() to lock or unlock the collection. Use get_items() to lookup the items in the collection. There may not be any items exposed when the collection is locked.
SecretItem	SecretItem represents a secret item stored in the Secret Service. Each item has a value, represented by a SecretValue, which can be retrieved by get_secret() or set by set_secret(). The item is only available when the item is not locked. Items can be locked or unlocked using the Lock::lock() or Lock::unlock() functions. The Lock trait is implemented by SecretItem. 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 SecretService::search() to search for items based on their attributes, and set_attributes() to change the attributes associated with an item. Items can be created with create() or SecretService::store().
SecretService	A SecretService object represents the Secret Service implementation which runs as a D-Bus service. In order to securely transfer secrets to the Sercret Service, a session is established. This will automatically be done when calling SecretService::get() To search for items, use the search() method. Multiple collections can exist in the Secret Service, each of which contains secret items. To access the list of Collections, use 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 SecretPrompt object is created by libsecret, and passed to the secret_service_prompt() method. In this way it is handled automatically.
SecretValue	A SecretValue contains a password or other secret value. Use SecretValue::get() to get the actual secret data, such as a password. This library only supports content type text/plain for now.
