+ <title>Description</title>
+ <para>The <command>gnome-keyring-daemon</command> is a service that stores
+ your passwords and secrets. It is normally started automatically when
+ a user logs into a desktop session.</para>
+
+ <para>The <command>gnome-keyring-daemon</command> implements the DBus
+ Secret Service API, and you can use tools like <command>seahorse</command>
+ or <command>secret-tool</command> to interact with it.</para>
+
+ <para>The daemon also implements a GnuPG and SSH agent both of which
+ automatically load the user's keys, and prompt for passwords when necessary.</para>
+
+ <para>The daemon will print out various environment variables which should
+ be set in the user's environment, in order to interact with the daemon.</para>
+</refsect1>

+ <title>Options</title>
+
+ <para>The various startup arguments below can be used:</para>

+ <variablelist>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><option>--components=<parameter>ssh,secrets,gpg,pkcs11</parameter></option></term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Ask the daemon to only initialize certain components. Valid
+ components are <literal>ssh</literal>, <literal>gpg</literal>,
+ <literal>secrets</literal>, <literal>pkcs11</literal>.</para>
+ <para>By default all components are initialized.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><option>--control-directory=<parameter>/path/to/directory</parameter></option></term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Use this directory for creating communication sockets. By default
+ a temporary directory is automatically created.</para>

+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><option>--login</option></term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>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 complete actual initialization.</para>
+ <para>The daemon should later be initialized with a
+ <command>gnome-keyring-daemon</command>&nbsp;<option>--start</option>
+ invocation.</para>
+ <para>This option may not be used together with either the
+ <option>--replace</option> or <option>--start</option>

+ </varlistentry>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><option>--replace</option></term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Try to replace a running keyring daemon, and assume its
+ environment avriables. A successful replacement depends
+ on the <literal>GNOMKE_KEYRING_CONTROL</literal>
+ environment variable being set by an earlier daemon.</para>
+ <para>This option may not be used together with either the
+ <option>--login</option> or <option>--start</option>
+ arguments.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><option>--start</option></term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Connect to an already running daemon and initialize it.
+ This is often used to complete initialization of a daemon
+ that was started by PAM using the <option>--login</option>
+ argument.</para>
+ <para>This option may not be used together with either the
+ <option>--login</option> or <option>--replace</option>
+ arguments.</para>
