19 /*! \headerfile libpwmd.h
21 * libpwmd is a library making it easy for applications to use the pwmd
22 * server.
25 /*! \section ssh SSH Details
27 * A remote connection to a pwmd server is possible by using an SSH channel
28 * which spawns a shell and executes a proxy server that connects to the pwmd
29 * local UNIX domain socket. Authentication is done by using SSH public key
30 * (see \ref ssh-keygen(1)) authentication and verifying the host key against
31 * a local file containing SHA1 hashes of known hosts. It's a lot like how the
32 * standard OpenSSH does things only the known_hosts file is in a different
33 * format.
35 * The server hash can be had by using \ref pwmd_get_hostkey() and storing the
36 * result in a file. This file is then used as the \a known_hosts argument to
37 * the SSH connection functions.
39 * Here's an example \ref authorized_keys(5) entry. The hash portion should be
40 * the same as the contents of the \a identity.pub file which is passed as a
41 * parameter to the SSH connection functions:
43 * \code
44 * command="socat gopen:$HOME/.pwmd/socket -" <hash> ...
45 * \endcode
47 * \note Only an SSH identity without a passphrase is supported. For now
48 * anyway.
50 * \x11
53 /*! \section pinentry Pinentry Details
55 * \ref pinentry(1) is a program that prompts the user for input which is
56 * normally a passphrase or a confirmation. libpwmd can use this program
57 * either locally (X11 forwarding is not yet supported) or have the pwmd
58 * server use it's pinentry to retrieve a passphrase when needed. How this is
59 * done depends what function gets called and whether the pwmd connection is
60 * over an SSH channel.
62 * There are a few options that tell pinentry how and where to prompt for a
63 * needed passphrase. See the \ref pwmd_option_t section for details. These
64 * options are not sent (when using pwmd's pinentry, not the local one) until
65 * the pinentry is needed.
67 * If using a local pinentry by calling \ref pwmd_open2(), \ref pwmd_save2(),
68 * \ref pwmd_open_async2() or pwmd_save_async2(), libpwmd will send the
69 * command "OPTION PINENTRY=0" to the pwmd server. This is needed so pwmd wont
70 * try to launch it's own pinentry on passphrase or confirmation failure. So
71 * you may need to reset this option manually depending on your needs.
73 * Some pinentry options can also be specified in a local configuration file
74 * \a "~/.pwmd/pinentry.conf". These options are initial values for each
75 * pinentry invokation and may be changed by setting the appropriate \ref
76 * pwmd_option_t. Each option and value is separated with a '=' on a single
77 * line. Unrecognized options are ignored. Here are the recognized options:
79 * \param PATH The full path to the location of the pinentry binary.
80 * \param DISPLAY The X11 display to use.
81 * \param TTYNAME The full path to the tty that pinentry should prompt on.
82 * \param TTYTYPE The terminal type of the tty which is required if DISPLAY is
83 * not set.
85 * \filepath
87 * \note The initial values for the pinentry TTY, TERM and DISPLAY are set
88 * during \ref pwmd_new() depending on the current environment. They may need
89 * to be reset as needed.
91 * \note After establishing an SSH connection, the pwmd pinentry is disabled
92 * by sending the command "OPTION PINENTRY=0". This is needed because there
93 * currently isn't a way to have the remote pinentry use the local display.
94 * You must be careful to use either a local pinentry or set a passphrase
95 * manually with \ref pwmd_setopt() when a passphrase is required or needed.
97 * \x11
99 * \see \ref ssh
102 /*! \section Errors
104 * libpwmd uses libgpg-error for all error codes. Some are user defined
105 * GPG_ERR_USER_N codes, but most are reused from the existing ones. Error
106 * codes can be described by using \ref pwmd_strerror(), or the thread-safe
107 * \ref pwmd_strerror_r().
109 * \note Internally, some error codes are a bitmask of an error source. In
110 * order to simplify the result codes, libpwmd strips any error source from
111 * the error code before returning it.
