NAME

6       gnome-keyring-daemon - The gnome-keyring daemon
7

SYNOPSIS

9       gnome-keyring-daemon [OPTION...]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The gnome-keyring-daemon is a service that stores your passwords and
13       secrets. It is normally started automatically when a user logs into a
14       desktop session.
15
16       The gnome-keyring-daemon implements the DBus Secret Service API, and
17       you can use tools like seahorse or secret-tool to interact with it.
18
19       The daemon also implements a GnuPG and SSH agent both of which
20       automatically load the user's keys, and prompt for passwords when
21       necessary.
22
23       The daemon will print out various environment variables which should be
24       set in the user's environment, in order to interact with the daemon.
25

OPTIONS

27       The various startup arguments below can be used:
28
29       -c, --components=ssh,secrets,pkcs11
30           Ask the daemon to only initialize certain components. Valid
31           components are ssh, secrets, pkcs11.
32
33           By default all components are initialized.
34
35       -C, --control-directory=/path/to/directory
36           Use this directory for creating communication sockets. By default a
37           temporary directory is automatically created.
38
39       -d, --daemonize
40           Run as a real daemon, disconnected from the terminal.
41
42       -f, --foreground
43           Run in the foreground, and do not fork or become a daemon.
44
45       -l, --login
46           This argument tells the daemon it is being run by PAM. It reads all
47           of stdin (including any newlines) as a login password and does not
48           complete actual initialization.
49
50           The daemon should later be initialized with a
51           gnome-keyring-daemon --start invocation.
52
53           This option implies --unlock. It may not be used together with
54           either the --replace or --start arguments.
55
56       -r, --replace
57           Try to replace a running keyring daemon, and assume its environment
58           variables. A successful replacement depends on the
59           GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL environment variable being set by an earlier
60           daemon.
61
62           This option may not be used together with either the --login or
63           --start arguments.
64
65       -s, --start
66           Connect to an already running daemon and initialize it. This is
67           often used to complete initialization of a daemon that was started
68           by PAM using the --login argument.
69
70           This option may not be used together with either the --login or
71           --replace arguments.
72
73       --unlock
74           Read a password from stdin, and use it to unlock the login keyring
75           or create it if the login keyring does not exist.
76
77       -V, --version
78           Print out the gnome-keyring version and then exit.
79
80       -h, --help
81           Show help options and exit.
