How to check gnome keyrings state with c code or python?


Currently using the command line gkey-lock/gkey-unlock with the flowing code to lock and unlock gnome default keyring, How can we implement gnome_keyring_info_get_is_locked() from <gnome-keyring.h> to check the locking state in c or python

Lock Keyring - gkey-lock.c

#include <stdio.h>
#include <gnome-keyring.h>

int main() {
    GnomeKeyringResult lock_result = gnome_keyring_lock_all_sync();
    if (lock_result == GNOME_KEYRING_RESULT_OK) {
        printf("Successfully locked\n");
        return 0;
    } else {
        printf("Error locking keyring: %d\n", lock_result);
        return 1;
    }
}

Unlock Keyring - gkey-unlock.c

#include <stdio.h>
#include <gnome-keyring.h>

int main() {
    GnomeKeyringResult lock_result = gnome_keyring_unlock_sync(NULL,NULL);
    if (lock_result == GNOME_KEYRING_RESULT_OK) {
        printf("Successfully unlocked\n");
        return 0;
    } else {
        printf("Error unlocking keyring: %d\n", lock_result);
        return 1;
    }
}

Solution

  • Gnome Keyring Command Line Tools (check/lock/unlock)

    Sources & Release : https://github.com/intika/gnome-keyring-tools

    Check Keyring - gkey-check.c

    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <gnome-keyring.h>
    
    int main() {
    
      GnomeKeyringInfo *info;
      GnomeKeyringResult gkr;
    
      gkr = gnome_keyring_get_info_sync(NULL, &info);
      if (gkr != GNOME_KEYRING_RESULT_OK) {
        printf("error\n");
        return -1;
      }
      if (gnome_keyring_info_get_is_locked(info)) {
        printf("locked\n");
        return 0;
      }
      else {
        printf("unlocked\n");
        return -1;
      }
      gnome_keyring_info_free(info);
    
    }
    

    Check With Python - gkey-check.py

    import gnomekeyring
    print gnomekeyring.get_info_sync(gnomekeyring.get_default_keyring_sync()).get_is_locked()
