Class
GcrUiSecureEntryBuffer
Description [src]
class GcrUi.SecureEntryBuffer : Gtk.EntryBuffer {
parent: GtkEntryBuffer
}
A GtkEntryBuffer
that uses non-pageable memory.
It’s good practice to try to keep passwords or sensitive secrets out of pageable memory whenever possible, so that they don’t get written to disk.
A GcrSecureEntryBuffer
is a GtkEntryBuffer
to be used with
GtkEntry
which uses non-pageable memory to store a password placed
in the entry. In order to make any sense at all, the entry must have it’s
visibility turned off, and just be displaying place holder characters for
the text. That is, a password style entry.
Use gtk_entry_new_with_buffer()
or gtk_entry_set_buffer()
to set this buffer
on an entry.
Constructors
