Package gokwallet serves as a Golang interface to KDE's KWallet (https://utils.kde.org/projects/kwalletmanager/).
Note that this library interfaces with kwalletd. KWallet is in the process of moving to libsecret/SecretService
(see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=313216 and https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kwallet/-/merge_requests/11).
While there is a pull request in place, it has not yet been merged in (and it may be a while before downstream
distributions incorporate that version). However, when that time comes I highly recommend using my `gosecret`
library to interface with that (module r00t2.io/gosecret; see https://pkg.go.dev/r00t2.io/gosecret).
KWallet has the following structure (modified slightly to reflect this library):
- A main Dbus service interface ("org.kde.kwalletd5") allows one to retrieve and operate on/with Wallet items.
- One or more Wallet items allow one to retrieve and operate on/with Folder items.
- One or more Folder items allow one to retrieve and operate on/with Passwords, Maps, BinaryData, and Unknown WalletItem items.
Thus, the hierarchy (as exposed by this library) looks like this:
WalletManager
Wallet "A"
Folder "A_1"
Passwords
Maps
BinaryData
Unknown
Folder "A_2"
Passwords
Maps
BinaryData
Unknown
Wallet "B"
Folder "B_1"
Passwords
Maps
BinaryData
Unknown
Folder "B_2"
Passwords
Maps
BinaryData
Unknown
