Linux 3.4 added support for the MADV_DONTDUMP option to madvise(), which requests that the covered memory not be included in coredumps. It makes sense to use this to prevent cases where application crashes could result in secrets being persisted to disk or included in dumps that are uploaded to remote servers for analysis. I've avoided making this fatal since there's a chance this code could be built on systems that have MADV_DONTDUMP but run on systems that don't. |

libsecret
A GObject-based library for accessing the Secret Service API of the freedesktop.org project, a cross-desktop effort to access passwords, tokens and other types of secrets. libsecret provides a convenient wrapper for these methods so consumers do not have to call the low-level DBus methods.
The actual Secret Service API spec can be found at https://specifications.freedesktop.org/secret-service/.
Building
To build and install libsecret, you can use the following commands:
$ meson _build
$ ninja -C _build
$ ninja -C _build install
