This crate provides a simple CLI for the Rust keyring ecosystem. It also provides sample Rust code for developers who are looking to use the keyring infrastructure in their projects and an inventory of available credential store modules.

The keyring binary produced by building this crate is a command-line interface for issuing one keyring call at a time and examining its results. Issue the command

keyring  help

for usage information.

The CLI provided by this crate is neither efficient nor convenient for scripting, because each invocation loads a credential store, issues just one command against it, and then outputs the results in a format that is hard to parse. If you are looking to do scripting of keyring commands, you are better off using the Python wrapper for this crate available on PyPI in the rust-native-keyring project. Use the shell command

pip install rust-native-keyring

to install it and

import rust_native_keyring

to load it into your Python REPL.

If you are a credential store module developer, you are strongly encouraged to contribute a connector for your module to the library in this crate, thus making it available to both client applications. See the module documentation for details.
