### Method

# Secret Service set_alias

#### Declaration [src]

    void
    secret_service_set_alias (
      SecretService* service,
      const gchar* alias,
      SecretCollection* collection,
      GCancellable* cancellable,
      GAsyncReadyCallback callback,
      gpointer user_data
    )

#### Description [src]

Assign a collection to this alias.

Aliases help determine well known collections, such as ‘default’.

If `service` is `NULL`, then `secret_service_get()` will be called to get the default `SecretService` proxy.

This method will return immediately and complete asynchronously.

This method completes asynchronously. Use `secret_service_set_alias_finish()` inside the `GAsyncReadyCallback` to obtain the result of the operation.
