## Includes

    #include <libsecret/secret.h>

## Description

These are low level functions which operate on DBus object paths of collections or items, instead of the SecretCollection or SecretItem objects themselves.

You can use these functions if you wish to manage access to the secret service using the DBus API directly, and only wish to use a few calls in libsecret.

## Functions

### secret_collection_new_for_dbus_path ()

    void
    secret_collection_new_for_dbus_path (SecretService *service,

The item is represented by its D-Bus object path. If you already have a SecretItem proxy object, use use `secret_item_load_secret_sync()` to more simply get its secret value.

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

Will return `NULL` if the item is locked.

#### Parameters

self | the secret service |
item_path | the D-Bus path to item to retrieve secret for |
cancellable | optional cancellation object |
error | location to place an error on failure |

#### Returns

the newly allocated secret value for the item, which should be released with `secret_value_unref()`.

Using this method requires that you setup a correct hash table of D-Bus properties for the new collection. You may prefer to use `secret_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.

                                         gpointer user_data);

Lookup which collection is assigned to this alias. Aliases help determine well known collections, such as 'default'. This method looks up the dbus object path of the well known collection.

This method will return immediately and complete asynchronously.

#### Parameters

self | a secret service object |
alias | the alias to lookup |
cancellable | optional cancellation object. | [allow-none]
callback | called when the operation completes |
user_data | data to pass to the callback |
