Implemented Interfaces

GcrSystemPrompt implements GcrPrompt, GInitable and GAsyncInitable.

Description

A GcrPrompt implementation which calls to the system prompter to display prompts in a system modal fashion.

Since the system prompter usually only displays one prompt at a time, you may have to wait for the prompt to be displayed. Use gcr_system_prompt_open() or a related function to open a prompt. Since this can take a long time, you should always check that the prompt is still needed after it is opened. A previous prompt may have already provided the information needed and you may no longer need to prompt.

Use gcr_system_prompt_close() to close the prompt when you're done with it.

Functions

GCR_SYSTEM_PROMPT_ERROR

#define GCR_SYSTEM_PROMPT_ERROR              (gcr_system_prompt_error_get_domain ())

The domain for errors returned from GcrSystemPrompt methods.


gcr_system_prompt_open ()

GcrPrompt *
gcr_system_prompt_open (gint timeout_seconds,
                        GCancellable *cancellable,
                        GError **error);

Opens a system prompt with the default prompter.

Most system prompters only allow showing one prompt at a time, and if another prompt is shown then this method will block for up to timeout_seconds seconds. If timeout_seconds is equal to -1, then this will block indefinitely until the prompt can be opened. If timeout_seconds expires, then this function will fail with a GCR_SYSTEM_PROMPT_IN_PROGRESS error.

Parameters

timeout_seconds

the number of seconds to wait to access the prompt, or -1

 

cancellable

optional cancellation object

 

error

location to place error on failure

 

Returns

the prompt, or NULL if prompt could not be opened.

gcr_system_prompt_open_async ()

void
gcr_system_prompt_open_async (gint timeout_seconds,
                              GCancellable *cancellable,
                              GAsyncReadyCallback callback,
                              gpointer user_data);

Asynchronously open a system prompt with the default system prompter.

Most system prompters only allow showing one prompt at a time, and if another prompt is shown then this method will block for up to timeout_seconds seconds. If timeout_seconds is equal to -1, then this will block indefinitely until the prompt can be opened. If timeout_seconds expires, then this operation will fail with a GCR_SYSTEM_PROMPT_IN_PROGRESS error.

Parameters

timeout_seconds

the number of seconds to wait to access the prompt, or -1

 

cancellable

optional cancellation object

 

callback

called when the operation completes

 

user_data

data to pass the callback

 

gcr_system_prompt_open_finish ()

GcrPrompt *
gcr_system_prompt_open_finish (GAsyncResult *result,
                               GError **error);

Complete an operation to asynchronously open a system prompt.

Parameters

result

the asynchronous result

 

error

location to place an error on failure

 

Returns

the prompt, or NULL if prompt could not be opened.

gcr_system_prompt_open_for_prompter ()

GcrPrompt *
gcr_system_prompt_open_for_prompter (const gchar *prompter_name,
                                     gint timeout_seconds,
                                     GCancellable *cancellable,
                                     GError **error);

Opens a system prompt. If prompter_name is NULL, then the default system prompter is used.

Most system prompters only allow showing one prompt at a time, and if another prompt is shown then this method will block for up to timeout_seconds seconds. If timeout_seconds is equal to -1, then this will block indefinitely until the prompt can be opened. If timeout_seconds expires, then this function will fail with a GCR_SYSTEM_PROMPT_IN_PROGRESS error.

Parameters

prompter_name

the prompter dbus name.

[allow-none]

timeout_seconds

the number of seconds to wait to access the prompt, or -1

 

cancellable

optional cancellation object

 

error

location to place error on failure

 

Returns

the prompt, or NULL if prompt could not be opened.

gcr_system_prompt_open_for_prompter_async ()

void
gcr_system_prompt_open_for_prompter_async
                               (const gchar *prompter_name,
                                gint timeout_seconds,
                                GCancellable *cancellable,
                                GAsyncReadyCallback callback,
                                gpointer user_data);

Opens a system prompt asynchronously. If prompter_name is NULL, then the default system prompter is used.

Most system prompters only allow showing one prompt at a time, and if another prompt is shown then this method will block for up to timeout_seconds seconds. If timeout_seconds is equal to -1, then this will block indefinitely until the prompt can be opened. If timeout_seconds expires, then this operation will fail with a GCR_SYSTEM_PROMPT_IN_PROGRESS error.

Parameters

prompter_name

the prompter dbus name.

[allow-none]

timeout_seconds

the number of seconds to wait to access the prompt, or -1

 

cancellable

optional cancellation object

 

callback

called when the operation completes

 

user_data

data to pass the callback

 

gcr_system_prompt_get_secret_exchange ()

GcrSecretExchange *
gcr_system_prompt_get_secret_exchange (GcrSystemPrompt *self);

Get the current GcrSecretExchange used to transfer secrets in this prompt.

Parameters

self

a prompter

 

Returns

the secret exchange.

[transfer none]


gcr_system_prompt_close ()

gboolean
gcr_system_prompt_close (GcrSystemPrompt *self,
                         GCancellable *cancellable,
                         GError **error);

Close this prompt. After calling this function, no further prompts will succeed on this object. The prompt object is not unreferenced by this function, and you must unreference it once done.

This call may block, use the gcr_system_prompt_close_async() to perform this action indefinitely.

Whether or not this function returns TRUE, the system prompt object is still closed and may not be further used.

Parameters

self

the prompt

 

cancellable

an optional cancellation object

 

error

location to place an error on failure

 

Returns

whether close was cleanly completed


gcr_system_prompt_close_async ()

void
gcr_system_prompt_close_async (GcrSystemPrompt *self,
                               GCancellable *cancellable,
                               GAsyncReadyCallback callback,
                               gpointer user_data);

Close this prompt asynchronously. After calling this function, no further methods may be called on this object. The prompt object is not unreferenced by this function, and you must unreference it once done.

This call returns immediately and completes asynchronously.

Parameters

self

the prompt

 

cancellable

an optional cancellation object

 

callback

called when the operation completes

 

user_data

data to pass to the callback

 

gcr_system_prompt_close_finish ()

                                GAsyncResult *result,
                                GError **error);

Complete operation to close this prompt.

Whether or not this function returns TRUE, the system prompt object is still closed and may not be further used.

Parameters

self

the prompt

 

result

asynchronous operation result

 

error

location to place an error on failure

 

Returns

whether close was cleanly completed

Types and Values

struct GcrSystemPrompt

struct GcrSystemPrompt;

A GcrPrompt which shows a system prompt. This is usually a system modal dialog.


struct GcrSystemPromptClass

struct GcrSystemPromptClass {
	GObjectClass parent_class;
};

The class for GcrSystemPrompt.

Members

GObjectClass parent_class;

parent class

 

enum GcrSystemPromptError

No error returned by the GcrSystemPrompt is suitable for display or to the user.
