## 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_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. | [nullable]
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. | [nullable]
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 ()

                                    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;
    };
