+Through user-written methods (see +.Xr UI_create_method 3 ) , +prompting can be done in any way imaginable, be it plain text prompting, +through dialog boxes or from a cell phone. +.Pp +All the functions work through a context of the type +.Vt UI . +This context contains all the information needed to prompt correctly +as well as a reference to a +.Vt UI_METHOD , +which is an ordered vector of functions that carry out the actual +prompting. +.Pp +The first thing to do is to create a +.Vt UI +with +.Fn UI_new +or +.Fn UI_new_method , +then add information to it with the +.Fn UI_add_* +or +.Fn UI_dup_* +functions. +Also, user-defined random data can be passed down to the underlying +method through calls to +.Fn UI_add_user_data . +The default UI method doesn't care about these data, but other methods +might. +Finally, use +.Fn UI_process +to actually perform the prompting and +.Fn UI_get0_result +to find the result to the prompt. +.Pp +A +.Vt UI +can contain more than one prompt, which are performed in the given +sequence. +Each prompt gets an index number which is returned by the +.Fn UI_add_* +and +.Fn UI_dup_* +functions, and has to be used to get the corresponding result with +.Fn UI_get0_result . +.Pp +The functions are as follows: +.Pp +.Fn UI_new +creates a new +.Vt UI +using the default UI method. +When done with this UI, it should be freed using +.Fn UI_free . +.Pp +.Fn UI_new_method +creates a new +.Vt UI +using the given UI method. +When done with this UI, it should be freed using +.Fn UI_free . +.Pp +.Fn UI_OpenSSL +returns the built-in UI method (note: not necessarily the default one, +since the default can be changed. +See further on). +This method is the most machine/OS dependent part of OpenSSL and +normally generates the most problems when porting. +.Pp +.Fn UI_null +returns a UI method that does nothing. +Its use is to avoid getting internal defaults for passed +.Vt UI_METHOD +pointers. +.Pp +.Fn UI_free +removes +.Fa ui +from memory, along with all other pieces of memory that are connected +to it, like duplicated input strings, results and others. +If +.Fa ui +is a +.Dv NULL +pointer, no action occurs. +.Pp +.Fn UI_add_input_string +and +.Fn UI_add_verify_string +add a prompt to +.Fa ui , +as well as flags and a result buffer and the desired minimum and +maximum sizes of the result, not counting the final NUL character. +The given information is used to prompt for information, for example +a password, and to verify a password (i.e. having the user enter +it twice and check that the same string was entered twice). +.Fn UI_add_verify_string +takes an extra argument that should be a pointer to the result buffer +of the input string that it's supposed to verify, or verification will +fail. +.Pp +.Fn UI_add_input_boolean +adds a prompt to +.Fa ui +that's supposed to be answered in a boolean way, with a single +character for yes and a different character for no. +A set of characters that can be used to cancel the prompt is given as +well. +The prompt itself is really divided in two, one part being the +descriptive text (given through the +.Fa prompt +argument) and one describing the possible answers (given through the +.Fa action_desc +argument). +.Pp +.Fn UI_add_info_string +and +.Fn UI_add_error_string +add strings that are shown at the same time as the prompt for extra +information or to show an error string. +The difference between the two is only conceptual. +With the builtin method, there's no technical difference between them. +Other methods may make a difference between them, however. +.Pp +The flags currently supported are +.Dv UI_INPUT_FLAG_ECHO , +which is relevant for +.Fn UI_add_input_string +and will have the users response be echoed (when prompting for a +password, this flag should obviously not be used), and +.Dv UI_INPUT_FLAG_DEFAULT_PWD , +which means that a default password of some sort will be used +(completely depending on the application and the UI method). +.Pp +.Fn UI_dup_input_string , +.Fn UI_dup_verify_string , +.Fn UI_dup_input_boolean , +.Fn UI_dup_info_string , +and +.Fn UI_dup_error_string +are basically the same as their +.Fn UI_add_* +counterparts, except that they make their own copies of all strings. +.Pp +.Fn UI_construct_prompt +is a helper function that can be used to create a prompt from two pieces +of information: a description and a name. +The default constructor (if there is none provided by the method used) +creates a string "Enter +.Em description +for +.Em name Ns :". +With the description "pass phrase" and the file name "foo.key", that +becomes "Enter pass phrase for foo.key:". Other methods may create +whatever string and may include encodings that will be processed by the +other method functions. +.Pp +.Fn UI_add_user_data +adds a user data pointer for the method to use at any time. +The builtin UI method doesn't care about this info. +Note that several calls to this function doesn't add data - +the previous blob is replaced with the one given as argument. +.Pp +.Fn UI_get0_user_data +retrieves the data that has last been given to the +.Fa ui +with +.Fn UI_add_user_data . +.Pp +.Fn UI_get0_result +returns a pointer to the result buffer associated with the information +indexed by +.Fa i . +.Pp +.Fn UI_process +goes through the information given so far, does all the printing and +prompting and returns the final status, which is -2 on out-of-band +events (Interrupt, Cancel, ...), -1 on error, or 0 on success. +.Pp +.Fn UI_ctrl +adds extra control for the application author. +For now, it understands two commands: +.Dv UI_CTRL_PRINT_ERRORS , +which makes +.Fn UI_process +print the OpenSSL error stack as part of processing the +.Fa ui , +and +.Dv UI_CTRL_IS_REDOABLE , +which returns a flag saying if the used +.Fa ui +can be used again or not. +.Pp +.Fn UI_set_default_method +changes the default UI method to the one given. +This function is not thread-safe and should not be called at the +same time as other OpenSSL functions. +.Pp +.Fn UI_get_default_method +returns a pointer to the current default UI method. +.Pp +.Fn UI_get_method +returns the UI method associated with a given +.Fa ui . +.Pp +.Fn UI_set_method +changes the UI method associated with a given +.Fa ui . +.Sh RETURN VALUES +.Fn UI_new +and +.Fn UI_new_method +return a valid +.Vt UI +structure or +.Dv NULL +if an error occurred. +.Pp +.Fn UI_add_input_string , +.Fn UI_dup_input_string , +.Fn UI_add_verify_string , +.Fn UI_dup_verify_string , +.Fn UI_add_input_boolean , +.Fn UI_dup_input_boolean , +.Fn UI_add_info_string , +.Fn UI_dup_info_string , +.Fn UI_add_error_string , +and +.Fn UI_dup_error_string +return a positive number on success or a number +less than or equal to zero otherwise. +.Pp +.Fn UI_construct_prompt +and +.Fn UI_get0_result +return a string or +.Dv NULL +if an error occurred. +.Pp +.Fn UI_add_user_data +and +.Fn UI_get0_user_data +return a pointer to the user data that was contained in +.Fa ui +before the call. +In particular, +.Dv NULL +is a valid return value. +.Pp +.Fn UI_process +returns 0 on success or a negative value on error. +.Pp +.Fn UI_ctrl +returns a mask on success or \-1 on error. +.Pp +.Fn UI_get_default_method , +.Fn UI_OpenSSL +and +.Fn UI_null +always return a pointer to a valid +.Vt UI_METHOD +structure. +.Pp +.Fn UI_get_method +and +.Fn UI_set_method +return a pointer to the +.Vt UI_METHOD +structure that is installed in +.Fa ui +after the call. +The OpenSSL documentation says that they can fail and return +.Dv NULL , +but currently, this can only happen when and after +.Fn UI_set_method +is called with an explicit +.Dv NULL +argument. +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr crypto 3 , +.Xr UI_create_method 3 , +.Xr UI_get_string_type 3 +.Sh HISTORY +These functions first appeared in OpenSSL 0.9.7 +and have been available since +.Ox 3.2 . +.Pp +.Fn UI_null +first appeared in OpenSSL 1.1.1 and has been available since +.Ox 7.3 . +.Sh AUTHORS +.An Richard Levitte Aq Mt richard@levitte.org +for the OpenSSL project. |
