Cross-platform library for managing passwords/credentials
Documentation
/*!

# Keyring

This is a cross-platform library that does storage and retrieval of passwords
(or other secrets) in an underlying platform-specific secure store.
A top-level introduction to the library's usage, as well as a small code sample,
may be found in [the library's entry on crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/keyring).
Currently supported platforms are
Linux,
Windows,
macOS, and iOS.

## Design

This crate implements a very simple, platform-independent concrete object called an _entry_.
Each entry is identified by a <_service name_, _user name_> pair of UTF-8 strings,
optionally augmented by a _target_ string (which can be used to distinguish two entries
that have the same _service name_ and _user name_).
Entries support setting, getting, and forgetting (aka deleting) passwords (UTF-8 strings).

Entries provide persistence for their passwords by wrapping credentials held in platform-specific
credential stores.  The implementations of these platform-specific stores are captured
in two types (with associated traits):

- a _credential builder_, represented by the [CredentialBuilder] type
(and [CredentialBuilderApi](credential::CredentialBuilderApi) trait).  Credential
builders are given the identifying information provided for an entry and maps
it to the identifying information for a matching platform-specific credential.
- a _credential_, represented by the [Credential] type
(and [CredentialApi](credential::CredentialApi) trait).  The platform-specific credential
identified by a builder for an entry is what provides the secure storage for that entry's password.

## Crate-provided Credential Stores

This crate runs on several different platforms, and it provides one
or more implementations of credential stores on each platform.
These implementations work by mapping the data used to identify an entry
to data used to identify platform-specific storage objects.
For example, on macOS, the service and user names provided for an entry
are mapped to the service and user attributes that identify an element
in the macOS keychain.

Typically, platform-specific stores have a richer model of an entry than
the one used by this crate.  They expose their specific model in the
concrete credential objects they use to implement the Credential trait.
In order to allow clients to access this richer model, the Credential trait
has an [as_any](credential::CredentialApi::as_any) method that returns a
reference to the underlying
concrete object typed as [Any](std::any::Any), so that it can be downgraded to
its concrete type.

## Client-provided Credential Stores

In addition to the platform stores implemented by this crate, clients
are free to provide their own secure stores and use those.  There are
two mechanisms provided for this:

- Clients can give their desired credential builder to the crate
for use by the [Entry::new] and [Entry::new_with_target] calls.
This is done by making a call to [set_default_credential_builder].
The major advantage of this approach is that client code remains
independent of the credential builder being used.
- Clients can construct their concrete credentials directly and
then turn them into entries by using the [Entry::new_with_credential]
call. The major advantage of this approach is that credentials
can be identified however clients want, rather than being restricted
to the simple model used by this crate.

## Mock Credential Store

In addition to the platform-specific credential stores, this crate
also provides a mock credential store that clients can use to
test their code in a platform independent way.  The mock credential
store allows for pre-setting errors as well as password values to
be returned from [Entry] method calls.

## Interoperability with Third Parties

Each of the credential stores provided by this crate uses an underlying
platform-specific store that may also be used by modules written
in other languages.  If you want to interoperate with these third party
credential writers, then you will need to understand the details of how the
target, service name, and user name of this crate's generic model
are used to identify credentials in the platform-specific store.
These details are in the implementation of this crate's secure-storage
modules, and are documented in the headers of those modules.

(_N.B._ Since the included credential store implementations are platform-specific,
you may need to use the Platform drop-down on [docs.rs](https://docs.rs/keyring) to
view the storage module documentation for your desired platform.)

## Caveats

This module manipulates passwords as UTF-8 encoded strings,
so if a third party has stored an arbitrary byte string
then retrieving that password will return a [BadEncoding](Error::BadEncoding) error.
The returned error will have the raw bytes attached,
so you can access them.

While this crate's code is thread-safe,
accessing the _same_ entry from multiple threads simultaneously
can produce odd results, even deadlocks.
This is because the system calls to the platform credential managers
may do leasing of locks and serialize calls differently than
they are made.  As long as you access a single entry from
only one thread at a time, multi-threading should be fine.
