create_collection_dbus_path_sync


Description:

public string create_collection_dbus_path_sync (HashTable<string,Variant> properties, string? alias, CollectionCreateFlags flags, Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws Error

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.

Parameters:

this

a secret service object

properties

hash table of D-Bus properties for the new collection

alias

an alias to check for before creating the new collection, or to assign to the new collection

flags

not currently used

cancellable

optional cancellation object

Returns:

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