GNOME-KEYRING-DAEM(1)		  User Commands 	   GNOME-KEYRING-DAEM(1)

NAME
     gnome-keyring-daemon - The gnome-keyring daemon

SYNOPSIS
     gnome-keyring-daemon [OPTION...]

DESCRIPTION
     The  gnome-keyring-daemon	is  a service that stores your passwords and se-
     crets. It is normally started automatically when a user logs into a desktop
     session.

     The gnome-keyring-daemon implements the DBus Secret Service  API,	and  you
     can use tools like seahorse or secret-tool to interact with it.

     The  daemon  also	implements a GnuPG and SSH agent both of which automati-
     cally load the user's keys, and prompt for passwords when necessary.

     The daemon will print out various environment variables which should be set
     in the user's environment, in order to interact with the daemon.

OPTIONS
     The various startup arguments below can be used:

     -c, --components=ssh,secrets,pkcs11
	 Ask the daemon to only initialize certain components. Valid  components
	 are ssh, secrets, pkcs11.

	 By default all components are initialized.

     -C, --control-directory=/path/to/directory
	 Use  this  directory  for  creating communication sockets. By default a
	 temporary directory is automatically created.

     -d, --daemonize
	 Run as a real daemon, disconnected from the terminal.

     -f, --foreground
	 Run in the foreground, and do not fork or become a daemon.

     -l, --login
	 This argument tells the daemon it is being run by PAM. It reads all  of
	 stdin	(including  any  newlines) as a login password and does not com-
	 plete actual initialization.

	 The daemon  should  later  be	initialized  with  a  gnome-keyring-dae-
	 mon --start invocation.

	 This  option  implies --unlock. It may not be used together with either
	 the --replace or --start arguments.

     -r, --replace
	 Try to replace a running keyring daemon,  and	assume	its  environment
	 variables.  A	successful replacement depends on the GNOME_KEYRING_CON-
	 TROL environment variable being set by an earlier daemon.

	 This option may not be used together with either the --login or --start
	 arguments.

     -s, --start
	 Connect to an already running daemon and initialize it. This  is  often
	 used to complete initialization of a daemon that was started by PAM us-
	 ing the --login argument.

	 This  option  may not be used together with either the --login or --re-
	 place arguments.

     --unlock
	 Read a password from stdin, and use it to unlock the login  keyring  or
	 create it if the login keyring does not exist.

     -V, --version
	 Print out the gnome-keyring version and then exit.

     -h, --help
	 Show help options and exit.
