create_collection_dbus_path_sync
Description:
Create a new collection in the secret service and return its path.
Using this method requires that you setup a correct hash table of D-Bus properties for the new collection. You may prefer to use [func
Collection.create
] which does handles this for you.
An alias
is a well-known tag for a collection, such as 'default' (ie: the default collection to store items in). This allows other
applications to easily identify and share a collection. If a collection with the alias
already exists, then instead of creating a
new collection, the existing collection will be returned. If no collection with this alias exists, then a new collection will be created and
this alias will be assigned to it.
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.Collection.Label`. The values in the hash table should be [structGLib.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. [method
Service.prompt
] will be used to handle any prompts that are required.
