public class Attribute

This structure represents a PKCS#11 `CK_ATTRIBUTE`.

These attributes contain information about a PKCS#11 object. Use [method@Object.get] or [method@Object.set] to set and attributes on an object.

Although you are free to allocate a `GckAttribute` in your own code, no functions in this library will operate on such an attribute.

Namespace: Gck

Package: gck-2
