## Description

A GckObject holds a handle to a PKCS11 object such as a key or certificate. Token objects are stored on the token persistently. Others are transient and are called session objects.

## Functions

### gck_object_from_handle ()

    GckObject *
    gck_object_from_handle (GckSession *session,
                            gulong object_handle);

Initialize a GckObject from a raw PKCS#11 handle. Normally you would use `gck_session_create_object()` or `gck_session_find_objects()` to access objects.

#### Parameters

session | The session through which this object is accessed or created. |
object_handle | The raw CK_OBJECT_HANDLE of the object. |

#### Returns

The new GckObject. You should use `g_object_unref()` when done with this object.

### gck_objects_from_handle_array ()

    GList *
    gck_objects_from_handle_array (GckSession *session,
                                   gulong *object_handles,
                                   gulong n_object_handles);

Initialize a list of GckObject from raw PKCS#11 handles. The handles argument must contain contiguous CK_OBJECT_HANDLE handles in an array.

#### Parameters

session | The session for these objects |
object_handles | The raw object handles. | [array length=n_object_handles]
n_object_handles | The number of raw object handles. |

#### Returns

The list of GckObject objects. You should use `gck_list_unref_free()` when done with this list.

### gck_object_equal ()

    gboolean
    gck_object_equal (gconstpointer object1,

Checks equality of two objects. Two GckObject objects can point to the same underlying PKCS#11 object.

#### Parameters

object1 | a pointer to the first GckObject. | [type Gck.Object]
object2 | a pointer to the second GckObject. | [type Gck.Object]

#### Returns

TRUE if object1 and object2 are equal. FALSE if either is not a GckObject.

### gck_object_hash ()

    guint
    gck_object_hash (gconstpointer object);

This function is intended for easily hashing a GckObject to add to a GHashTable or similar data structure.

#### Parameters

object | a pointer to a GckObject. | [type Gck.Object]

#### Returns

An integer that can be used as a hash value, or 0 if invalid.

### gck_object_get_session ()

    GckSession *
    gck_object_get_session (GckObject *self);

## Types and Values

### struct GckObject

    struct GckObject;

Represents a PKCS11 object handle such as a key or certifiacte.

### struct GckObjectClass

    struct GckObjectClass {
    	GObjectClass parent;
    };

The class for a GckObject.

If the `attribute_types` field is set by a derived class, then the a GckEnumerator which has been setup using `gck_enumerator_set_object_type()` with this derived type will retrieve these attributes when enumerating. In this case the class must implement an 'attributes' property of boxed type GCK_TYPE_ATTRIBUTES.

#### Members

GObjectClass `parent`; | derived from this |

## Property Details

### The `“handle”` property

      “handle”                   gulong

The raw PKCS11 handle for this object.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct Only

### The `“module”` property

      “module”                   GckModule *

The GckModule that this object belongs to.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct Only

### The `“session”` property

      “session”                  GckSession *

The PKCS11 session to make calls on when this object needs to perform operations on itself.

If this is NULL then a new session is opened for each operation, such as `gck_object_get()`, `gck_object_set()` or `gck_object_destroy()`.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct Only
