## 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.

## Details

### struct GckObject

    struct GckObject {
    	GObject parent;
    };

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

GObject `parent`; | derived from this.

### gck_object_from_handle ()

    GckObject *         gck_object_from_handle              (GckSession *session,
                                                             CK_OBJECT_HANDLE 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.

`session` : | The session through which this object is accessed or created.
`handle` : | The raw 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,
                                                             CK_OBJECT_HANDLE_PTR handles,
                                                             CK_ULONG n_handles);

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

`session` : | The session for these objects
`handles` : | The raw object handles.
`n_handles` : | The number of raw object handles.
Returns : | The list of GckObject. You should use `gck_list_unref_free()` when done with this list.

### gck_object_equal ()

    gboolean            gck_object_equal                    (gconstpointer object1,
                                                             gconstpointer object2);

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

`object1` : | A pointer to the first GckObject
`object2` : | A pointer to the second GckObject
Returns : | TRUE if object1 and object2 are equal. FALSE if either is not a GckObject.

### gck_object_hash ()

    guint               gck_object_hash                     (gconstpointer object);

Create a hash value for the GckObject.

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

`object` : | A pointer to a GckObject
Returns : | An integer that can be used as a hash value, or 0 if invalid.

### gck_object_get_module ()

    GckModule *         gck_object_get_module               (GckObject *self);

Get the PKCS#11 module to which this object belongs.

`self` : | The object.
Returns : | The module, which should be unreffed after use.

### gck_object_get_handle ()

    CK_OBJECT_HANDLE    gck_object_get_handle               (GckObject *self);

Get the raw PKCS#11 handle of a GckObject.

`self` : | The object.
Returns : | The raw object handle.

### gck_object_get_session ()

    GckSession *        gck_object_get_session              (GckObject *self);

Get the PKCS#11 session assigned to make calls on when operating on this object.

This will only return a session if it was set explitly on this object. By default an object will open and close sessions appropriate for its calls.

`self` : | The object
Returns : | The assigned session, which must be unreffed after use.

### gck_object_destroy ()

    gboolean            gck_object_destroy                  (GckObject *self,
                                                             GCancellable *cancellable,
                                                             GError **error);

Destroy a PKCS#11 object, deleting it from storage or the session. This call may block for an indefinite period.

`self` : | The object to destroy.
`cancellable` : | Optional cancellable object, or NULL to ignore.
`error` : | A location to return an error.
Returns : | Whether the call was successful or not.

### gck_object_destroy_async ()

    void                gck_object_destroy_async            (GckObject *self,
                                                             GCancellable *cancellable,
                                                             GAsyncReadyCallback callback,
                                                             gpointer user_data);

Destroy a PKCS#11 object, deleting it from storage or the session. This call will return immediately and complete asynchronously.

`self` : | The object to destroy.
`cancellable` : | Optional cancellable object, or NULL to ignore.
`callback` : | Callback which is called when operation completes.
`user_data` : | Data to pass to the callback.

### gck_object_destroy_finish ()

    gboolean            gck_object_destroy_finish           (GckObject *self,
