38 * functions for pin retrieval with pinentry. The pwmd_open_nb_finalize() and
39 * pwmd_save_nb_finalize() functions use this type after a successful read()
40 * from the returned file descriptor of those functions.
42 * Although version 1.4 and later of pwmd has it's own support for pinentry,
43 * commands that uses pinentry will block and as a result block the client. So
44 * these non-blocking functions may be used to retrieve the key before sending
45 * the command that requires a key.
47 * Update: You can use pwmd_open_async() and pwmd_save_async() for
48 * non-blocking pin retrieval. These will have pwmd use it's pinentry method
49 * rather than have libpwmd fork(). pwmd_open_nb() and pwmd_save_nb() will be
50 * kept (both were previously flagged as deprecated) in case pin retrieval
51 * isn't possible with pwmd.

87 * 'rc' is the return code from assuan_send_data() and is initially 0 on the
88 * first call to the set callback. This gives the client a chance to cleanup
89 * if assuan_send_data() fails for some reason and should probably return the
90 * same error code, if set, after doing so.
92 * 'result' should be set to the data to be sent which is of 'len' bytes. The
93 * data is not modified.
95 * The function should return GPG_ERR_EOF when no more data needs to be sent

126 * using pinentry and the password must be set with PWMD_OPTION_PASSWORD

281 * A wrapper around assuan_pending_line() and assuan_read_line(). Returns 0 if
282 * there was a pending line and sets 'line' to the content and 'len' to the
283 * length. Returns GPG_ERR_NO_DATA if there was no pending line. Otherwise the
284 * error returned from assuan_read_line() is returned.
286 gpg_error_t pwmd_pending_line(pwm_t *pwm, char **line, size_t *len) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result));

295 * Opens a file 'filename' (the OPEN command). The filename is not a full path
296 * but only filename which is looked for in the pwmd configured data

299 * success or an error code.
301 gpg_error_t pwmd_open(pwm_t *pwm, const char *filename) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result));
304 * This is like pwmd_open() but won't block the process when pinentry is used
305 * to retrieve the password. It returns -2 when the file is cached (ISCACHED)
306 * on the server or if the file doesn't exist on the file system (a new file).

312 * The 'timeout' parameter specifies the number of seconds until the pinentry
313 * terminates. Setting to 0 (the default) will disable timeouts. Note that the
314 * child process will reset the SIGALRM handler (if any) to it's own handler
315 * and that the actual OPEN command isn't calculated as part of the elapsed

324 * When a file descriptor has been returned from pwmd_open_nb() and after a
325 * successful read(), you should call pwmd_open_nb_finalize() to update the
326 * 'pwm' handle. If there was a pinentry or protocol error
327 * pwmd_open_nb_finalize() will return an error code or 0 on success. Note
328 * that pwmd_open_nb_finalize() will close the file descriptor returned from
329 * pwmd_open_nb().
331 gpg_error_t pwmd_open_nb_finalize(pwm_t *pwm, pwmd_nb_status_t *status) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result));
334 * This is the preferred way to do a non-blocking open. The difference from
335 * pwmd_open_nb() is that libpwmd wont fork() to get the pin. Instead, it will
336 * let pwmd use it's pinentry retrieval method. When successful this function
337 * returns 0 and pwmd_process() should be called until the command completes.
339 * If pwmd is unable to use pinentry, and non-blocking is needed, then
340 * pwmd_open_nb() can be used instead.

346 * When the asynchronous commands pwmd_tcp_connect_async(), pwmd_open_async()
347 * or pwmd_save_async() succeed (return 0 or non-NULL), this function
348 * should be called until ASYNC_DONE is returned. It will return ASYNC_PROCESS
349 * when the command is still running. After ASYNC_DONE is returned, any error
350 * that may have occurred is stored in 'rc'. If an error occurred or not,
351 * pwmd_finalize() must be called to reset a control variable so the next
352 * asynchronous command may be performed.

355 gpg_error_t pwmd_get_result(pwm_t *pwm, const char **result) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result));
359 * Resets the control variable for the associated handle. Call this function
360 * after ASYNC_DONE is returned from pwmd_process(). The return value is not
361 * associated with the command that was being processed with pwmd_process().
362 * This function returns 0 on success or an error if "pwm" is not a valid
363 * handle or in an inconsistant state.
365 * NOTE: In the case that pwmd_tcp_connect_async() was used for the
366 * asynchronous command and an error occurred while connecting, this function
367 * will deallocate the resources used by the handle. You may then retry the
368 * connection.
370 //FIXME merge pwmd_get_result() into this function.
371 gpg_error_t pwmd_finalize(pwm_t *pwm) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result));
375 * Sends the SAVE command to the associated handle 'pwm'. If a password is
376 * required, how it is gotten depends on options set with pwmd_setopt().
377 * Returns 0 on success or an error code.
379 gpg_error_t pwmd_save(pwm_t *pwm) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result));
382 * This is like pwmd_save() but won't block the process when pinentry is used
383 * to retrieve the password. It returns -2 when the file is cached (ISCACHED)
384 * on the server or if the file doesn't exist on the file system (a new file).
385 * Otherwise it returns a file descriptor that select() can use. When ready
386 * for a read, read() should read a pwmd_nb_status_t. If there is a system
387 * error (pipe() or fork()), then -1 is returned and 'error' is set to an
388 * error code that pwmd_strerror() can describe. See pwmd_save_nb_finalize().
390 * Note that there is no timeout setting. If a password is required, pinentry
391 * won't timeout but will wait until either it is canceled or a successful
392 * passphrase is entered.

399 * When a file descriptor has been returned from pwmd_save_nb() and after a
400 * successful read(), you should call pwmd_save_nb_finalize() to update the
401 * 'pwm' handle. If there was a pinentry or protocol error
402 * pwmd_save_nb_finalize() will return an error code or 0 on success. Note
403 * that pwmd_save_nb_finalize() will close the file descriptor returned from
404 * pwmd_save_nb().
406 gpg_error_t pwmd_save_nb_finalize(pwm_t *pwm, pwmd_nb_status_t *status) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result));

410 * libpwmd fork(). This function returns 0 on success and pwmd_process()
411 * should be called until the command completes.
413 gpg_error_t pwmd_save_async(pwm_t *pwm) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result));
417 * Terminates a pinentry process. If your not using pwmd_open_nb() and want to

424 * Sends a protocol command 'cmd' to the daemon using handle 'pwm'. If the

429 * For commands which use an INQUIRE (i.e., STORE), use pwmd_inquire() and not
