NAME
gnome-keyring-daemon - The gnome-keyring daemon
SYNOPSIS
gnome-keyring-daemon [OPTION...]
DESCRIPTION
The gnome-keyring-daemon is a service that stores your passwords and
secrets. It is normally started automatically when a user logs into a
desktop session.
The gnome-keyring-daemon implements the DBus Secret Service API, and
you can use tools like seahorse or secret-tool to interact with it.
The daemon also implements a GnuPG and SSH agent both of which
automatically load the user's keys, and prompt for passwords when
necessary.
The daemon will print out various environment variables which should be
set in the user's environment, in order to interact with the daemon.
OPTIONS
The various startup arguments below can be used:
-c, --components=ssh,secrets,pkcs11
Ask the daemon to only initialize certain components. Valid
components are ssh, secrets, pkcs11.
By default all components are initialized.
-C, --control-directory=/path/to/directory
Use this directory for creating communication sockets. By default a
temporary directory is automatically created.
-d, --daemonize
Run as a real daemon, disconnected from the terminal.
-f, --foreground
Run in the foreground, and do not fork or become a daemon.
-l, --login
This argument tells the daemon it is being run by PAM. It reads all
of stdin (including any newlines) as a login password and does not
complete actual initialization.
The daemon should later be initialized with a
gnome-keyring-daemon --start invocation.
This option implies --unlock. It may not be used together with
either the --replace or --start arguments.
-r, --replace
Try to replace a running keyring daemon, and assume its environment
variables. A successful replacement depends on the
GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL environment variable being set by an earlier
daemon.
This option may not be used together with either the --login or
--replace arguments.
--unlock
Read a password from stdin, and use it to unlock the login keyring
or create it if the login keyring does not exist.
-V, --version
Print out the gnome-keyring version and then exit.
-h, --help
Show help options and exit.
