32 * A handle is a pointer to a pwm_t that is returned with pwmd_connect().
34 struct pwm_s;
35 typedef struct pwm_s pwm_t;
38 * Used with pwmd_open_nb() and pwmd_save_nb(). Both are non-blocking
39 * functions for pin retrieval with pinentry. The pwmd_open_nb_finalize() and
40 * pwmd_save_nb_finalize() functions use this type after a successful read()
41 * from the returned file descriptor of those functions.
43 * Although version 1.4 and later of pwmd has it's own support for pinentry,
44 * commands that uses pinentry will block and as a result block the client. So
45 * these non-blocking functions may be used to retrieve the key before sending
46 * the command that requires a key.

58 typedef char *(*pwmd_password_fn)(pwm_t *pwm, void *data);

62 * status messages. The 'line' is the status message prefixed with the
63 * keyword.
65 typedef int (*pwmd_status_fn)(void *data, const char *line);
68 * A callback function that is passed to pwmd_inquire(). 'data' is user data
69 * that was passed to pwmd_inquire(). 'keyword' is the same as the 'cmd'
70 * argument to pwmd_inquire().
72 * 'rc' is the return code from assuan_send_data() and is initially 0 on the
73 * first call to the set callback. This gives the client a chance to cleanup
74 * if assuan_send_data() fails and should probably return the same error code,
75 * if set, after doing so.
77 * 'result' should be set to the data to be sent which is of 'len' bytes. The
78 * data is not modified.

81 * 0 if there is more data pending or an error code which will terminate the

99 * Data passed to the password function.

106 * The following argument should be of type int and set to 1 to enable the
107 * use of pinentry(1) to retrieve passwords. Setting to 0 will disable

109 * or gotten from PWMD_OPTION_PASSWORD_FUNC.
111 PWMD_OPTION_PINENTRY,
114 * PWMD_OPTION_PINENTRY_TRIES
116 * The number of password tries before giving up. If the pinentry "Cancel"

119 PWMD_OPTION_PINENTRY_TRIES,
122 * PWMD_OPTION_PINENTRY_PATH

155 * PWMD_OPTION_PINENTRY is 0. The password will be kept in memory until

163 * PWMD_OPTION_PINENTRY_PROMPT

207 * required for the option. Returns 0 on success or an error code.
209 gpg_error_t pwmd_setopt(pwm_t *pwm, pwmd_option_t opt, ...) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result));
212 * Opens a file 'filename' (the OPEN command). The filename is not a full path
213 * but only filename which is looked for in the pwmd configured data
214 * directory. How the password is gotten depends on options set with
215 * pwmd_setopt() and whether the file is cached on the server. Returns 0 on
216 * success or an error code.
218 gpg_error_t pwmd_open(pwm_t *pwm, const char *filename) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result));
221 * This is like pwmd_open() but won't block the process when pinentry is used
222 * to retrieve the password. It returns -2 when the file is cached (ISCACHED)
223 * on the server or if the file doesn't exist on the file system (a new file).
224 * Otherwise it returns a file descriptor that select() can use. When ready
225 * for a read, read() should read a pwmd_nb_status_t. If there is a system
226 * error (pipe() or fork()), then -1 is returned and 'error' is set to an
227 * error code that pwmd_strerror() can describe. See pwmd_open_nb_finalize().
229 * The 'timeout' parameter specifies the number of seconds until the pinentry
230 * terminates. Setting to 0 (the default) will disable timeouts. Note that the
231 * child process will reset the SIGALRM handler (if any) to it's own handler
232 * and that the actual OPEN command isn't calculated as part of the elapsed
233 * time.
235 * Be sure to set PWMD_OPTION_PINENTRY.

240 * When a file descriptor has been returned from pwmd_open_nb() and after a
241 * successful read(), you should call pwmd_open_nb_finalize() to update the
242 * 'pwm' handle. If there was a pinentry or protocol error
243 * pwmd_open_nb_finalize() will return an error code or 0 on success. Note
244 * that pwmd_open_nb_finalize() will close the file descriptor returned from
245 * pwmd_open_nb().
247 gpg_error_t pwmd_open_nb_finalize(pwm_t *pwm, pwmd_nb_status_t *status) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result));

257 * This is like pwmd_save() but won't block the process when pinentry is used

259 * on the server or if the file doesn't exist on the file system (a new file).

263 * error code that pwmd_strerror() can describe. See pwmd_save_nb_finalize().
265 * Note that there is no timeout setting. If a password is required, pinentry
266 * won't timeout.
268 * Be sure to set PWMD_OPTION_PINENTRY.
270 int pwmd_save_nb(pwm_t *pwm, gpg_error_t *error) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result));
273 * When a file descriptor has been returned from pwmd_save_nb() and after a
274 * successful read(), you should call pwmd_save_nb_finalize() to update the
275 * 'pwm' handle. If there was a pinentry or protocol error
276 * pwmd_save_nb_finalize() will return an error code or 0 on success. Note
277 * that pwmd_save_nb_finalize() will close the file descriptor returned from
278 * pwmd_save_nb().
280 gpg_error_t pwmd_save_nb_finalize(pwm_t *pwm, pwmd_nb_status_t *status) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result));
283 * Terminates a pinentry process. If your not using pwmd_open_nb() and want to
284 * timeout the associated pinentry process, then call this function after your
285 * timer has expired. Returns 0 on success or an error code.
287 gpg_error_t pwmd_terminate_pinentry(pwm_t *pwm) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result));
290 * Sends a protocol command 'cmd' to the daemon using handle 'pwm'. If the
291 * command fails an error code is returned which may be described by passing
292 * the error to pwmd_strerror(). If successful the function returns 0 and the
293 * 'result' is the character data of the command or NULL if there was none.
295 * For commands which use an INQUIRE (i.e., "STORE"), use pwmd_inquire() and
296 * not pwmd_command().
298 * A note about the BYE command: Client's should not send this command
299 * directly with pwmd_command(). They should use pwmd_close() instead because
300 * libassuan will close the file descriptors with the associated context. This
301 * is fine except when pwmd_close() is called. pwmd_close() calls
302 * assuan_disconnect() which then sends the BYE command to the closed file
303 * descriptor resulting in a segfault.
305 gpg_error_t pwmd_command(pwm_t *pwm, char **result, const char *cmd, ...) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result));
308 * Commands which use an INQUIRE to send data should use this function and not
309 * pwmd_command(). 'cmd' is the command to send and is also the 'keyword'
310 * argument to the callback function 'func'. 'data' is user data passed to the
311 * callback function. Returnes 0 on success or and error code which may have
312 * been returned from the callback function.

319 * important to use this function because libpwmd keeps track of all memory
320 * de/allocations.
