Class Gio.Credentials

Import line:	Gio = imports.gi.Gio;
GIR File:	Gio-2.0.gir
C documentation:	GCredentials
Class :	Credentials
Extends:	GObject.Object

The GCredentials type is a reference-counted wrapper for native
credentials. This information is typically used for identifying,
authenticating and authorizing other processes.
Some operating systems supports looking up the credentials of the
remote peer of a communication endpoint - see e.g.
g_socket_get_credentials().
Some operating systems supports securely sending and receiving
credentials over a Unix Domain Socket, see
GUnixCredentialsMessage, g_unix_connection_send_credentials() and
g_unix_connection_receive_credentials() for details.
On Linux, the native credential type is a struct ucred
- see the
unix7
man page for details. This corresponds to
G_CREDENTIALS_TYPE_LINUX_UCRED.
On FreeBSD, the native credential type is a struct cmsgcred.
This corresponds to G_CREDENTIALS_TYPE_FREEBSD_CMSGCRED.

Methods / Constructors
Method / Constructor		Defined By
	new Gio.Credentials () Create a new Gio.Credentials Create a new Gio.Credentials
	get_unix_user () : guint32 Tries to get the UNIX user identifier from credentials. Tries to get the UNIX user identifier from credentials. This method is only available on UNIX platforms. This operation can fail if GCredentials is not supported on the OS or if the native credentials type does not contain information about the UNIX user. Returns: guint32 The UNIX user identifier or -1 if error is set.	Gio.Credentials
	is_same_user (Credentials *other_credentials) : gboolean Checks if credentials* and other_credentials is the same user. Checks if credentials and other_credentials is the same user. This operation can fail if GCredentials is not supported on the the OS. user, FALSE otherwise or if error is set. Parameters: Gio.Credentials other_credentials Required (not null) A GCredentials. Returns: gboolean TRUE if credentials and other_credentials has the same	Gio.Credentials
	set_native (CredentialsType *native_type, void *native) : none Copies the native credentials of type native_type* from native into credentials. Copies the native credentials of type native_type from native into credentials. It is a programming error (which will cause an warning to be logged) to use this method if there is no GCredentials support for the OS or if native_type isn't supported by the OS. Parameters: Gio.CredentialsType native_type Required (not null) The type of native credentials to set. void* native Required (not null) A pointer to native credentials. Returns: none	Gio.Credentials
	set_unix_user (guint32 *uid) : gboolean Tries to set the UNIX user identifier on credentials. Tries to set the UNIX user identifier on credentials. This method is only available on UNIX platforms. This operation can fail if GCredentials* is not supported on the OS or if the native credentials type does not contain information about the UNIX user. Parameters: guint32 uid Required (not null) The UNIX user identifier to set. Returns: gboolean TRUE if uid was set, FALSE if error is set.	Gio.Credentials
	to_string () : String Creates a human-readable textual representation of credentials that can be used in logging and debug messages. Creates a human-readable textual representation of credentials that can be used in logging and debug messages. The format of the returned string may change in future GLib release. Returns: String A string that should be freed with g_free().	Gio.Credentials
