gnome_keyring_find_items ()

gpointer
gnome_keyring_find_items (GnomeKeyringItemType type,
                          GnomeKeyringAttributeList *attributes,
                          GnomeKeyringOperationGetListCallback callback,

Use secret_password_lookup() or secret_service_search() instead.

Searches through all keyrings for items that match the attributes . The matches are for exact equality.

A GList of GnomeKeyringFound structures are passed to the callback . The list and structures are freed after the callback returns.

gnome_keyring_find_itemsv ()

gpointer
gnome_keyring_find_itemsv (GnomeKeyringItemType type,
                           GnomeKeyringOperationGetListCallback callback,
                           gpointer data,

The variable argument list should contain a) The attribute name as a null terminated string, followed by b) The attribute type, either GNOME_KEYRING_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_STRING or GNOME_KEYRING_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_UINT32 and then the c) attribute value, either a character string, or 32-bit unsigned int. The list should be terminated with a NULL.

A GList of GnomeKeyringFound structures are passed to the callback . The list and structures are freed after the callback returns.

The user may have been prompted to unlock necessary keyrings, and user will have been prompted for access to the items if needed.
