31 * A handle is a pointer to a pwm_t that is returned with pwmd_connect().
33 struct pwm_s;
34 typedef struct pwm_s pwm_t;
37 * Used with pwmd_open_nb() and pwmd_save_nb(). Both are non-blocking
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.

70 * A custom callback password retrieval function which is set with
71 * pwmd_setopt(). This has priority over other retrieval methods if set.
73 typedef char *(*pwmd_password_fn)(pwm_t *pwm, void *data);
76 * A callback to be set with pwmd_setopt() that processes Assuan protocol
77 * status messages. The 'line' is the status message which is prefixed with
78 * the status keyword.
80 typedef int (*pwmd_status_fn)(void *data, const char *line);
83 * A callback function that is passed to pwmd_inquire(). 'data' is the user
84 * data that was passed to pwmd_inquire(). 'keyword' is the same as the 'cmd'
85 * argument to pwmd_inquire().
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
96 * or to finish sending the set 'result' and end the INQUIRE, 0 if there is
97 * more data pending or an error code which will terminate the INQUIRE.

105 typedef enum {
107 * PWMD_OPTION_PASSWORD_FUNC
109 * Function to retrieve a password. This function should return an
110 * string which is the password or NULL on error.
112 PWMD_OPTION_PASSWORD_FUNC,
115 * PWMD_OPTION_PASSWORD_DATA
117 * Data passed to the password function.
119 PWMD_OPTION_PASSWORD_DATA,
122 * PWMD_OPTION_PINENTRY
124 * The following argument should be of type int and set to 1 to enable the
125 * use of pinentry(1) to retrieve passwords. Setting to 0 will disable
126 * using pinentry and the password must be set with PWMD_OPTION_PASSWORD
127 * or gotten from PWMD_OPTION_PASSWORD_FUNC. The pwmd command "OPTION
128 * PINENTRY=0" is sent when this option is set (1) to prevent pinentry
129 * from being called on the pwmd server and enabled when unset.
131 PWMD_OPTION_PINENTRY,
134 * PWMD_OPTION_PINENTRY_TRIES
136 * The number of password tries before giving up. If the pinentry "Cancel"
137 * button is selected, pinentry will abort. Must be > 0. The default is 3.
139 PWMD_OPTION_PINENTRY_TRIES,
142 * PWMD_OPTION_PINENTRY_PATH
144 * The full pathname to the pinentry program. If not specified,
145 * /usr/bin/pinentry will be used.

166 * pinentry --ttytype
168 PWMD_OPTION_PINENTRY_TERM,
171 * PWMD_OPTION_PASSWORD
173 * The following argument should be of type char* which specifies the
174 * password to use when the PWMD_OPEN or PWMD_SAVE commands are issued and
175 * PWMD_OPTION_PINENTRY is 0. The password will be kept in memory until
176 * pwmd_close() is called so setting this option isn't needed each time
177 * pwmd_open() or pwmd_save() is called regardless of pwmd cache settings.
179 PWMD_OPTION_PASSWORD,
182 * PWMD_OPTION_PINENTRY_TITLE
183 * PWMD_OPTION_PINENTRY_PROMPT
184 * PWMD_OPTION_PINENTRY_DESC
186 * The following argument is of type char* which specifies either the
187 * title, prompt or description in the pinentry program when
188 * PWMD_OPTION_PINENTRY is set. Note that any CR, LF or % must be percent
189 * escape (the hexidecimal value of the character).
191 PWMD_OPTION_PINENTRY_TITLE,
192 PWMD_OPTION_PINENTRY_PROMPT,
193 PWMD_OPTION_PINENTRY_DESC,
196 * PWMD_OPTION_STATUS_FUNC
198 * A function to be called when a status line is sent from pwmd. This
199 * function should return 0 on success or a gpg-error error code. This
200 * function won't be used when getting a password with pinentry.
202 PWMD_OPTION_STATUS_FUNC,
205 * PWMD_OPTION_STATUS_DATA
207 * Data passed to the status function.

214 * before the other functions.
216 gpg_error_t pwmd_init(void);
219 * Connects to the socket specified by 'socket_path'. If socket_path is NULL,
220 * then a default of ~/.pwmd/socket will be used. Returns a new handle for use
221 * with the other functions or NULL if there was an error in which case
222 * 'error' is set to an error code which may be described by pwmd_strerror().
224 pwm_t *pwmd_connect(const char *socket_path, gpg_error_t *error) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result));
227 * Sets 'ctx' to the assuan context associated with the handle 'pwm' and 'fd'
228 * to the socket file descriptor. Returns 0 on success or an error code.
230 * Note than ctx is really an assuan_context_t *.
232 gpg_error_t pwmd_assuan_ctx(pwm_t *pwm, void *ctx, int *fd) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result));
235 * A wrapper around assuan_pending_line() and assuan_read_line(). Returns 0 if
236 * there was a pending line and sets 'line' to the content and 'len' to the
237 * length. Returns GPG_ERR_NO_DATA if there was no pending line. Otherwise the
238 * error returned from assuan_read_line() is returned.
240 gpg_error_t pwmd_pending_line(pwm_t *pwm, char **line, size_t *len) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result));
243 * Sets a libpwmd option 'opt'. The next argument should be of the data type
244 * required for the option. Returns 0 on success or an error code.
246 gpg_error_t pwmd_setopt(pwm_t *pwm, pwmd_option_t opt, ...) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result));
249 * Opens a file 'filename' (the OPEN command). The filename is not a full path
250 * but only filename which is looked for in the pwmd configured data
251 * directory. How the password is gotten depends on the options set with
252 * pwmd_setopt() and whether the file is cached on the server. Returns 0 on
253 * success or an error code.
255 gpg_error_t pwmd_open(pwm_t *pwm, const char *filename) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result));
258 * This is like pwmd_open() but won't block the process when pinentry is used
259 * to retrieve the password. It returns -2 when the file is cached (ISCACHED)
260 * on the server or if the file doesn't exist on the file system (a new file).
261 * Otherwise it returns a file descriptor that select() can use. When ready
262 * for a read, read() should read a pwmd_nb_status_t. If there is a system
263 * error (pipe() or fork()), then -1 is returned and 'error' is set to an
264 * error code that pwmd_strerror() can describe. See pwmd_open_nb_finalize().
266 * The 'timeout' parameter specifies the number of seconds until the pinentry
267 * terminates. Setting to 0 (the default) will disable timeouts. Note that the
268 * child process will reset the SIGALRM handler (if any) to it's own handler
269 * and that the actual OPEN command isn't calculated as part of the elapsed
270 * time.
272 * Be sure to set PWMD_OPTION_PINENTRY.
274 int pwmd_open_nb(pwm_t *pwm, gpg_error_t *error, const char *filename,
275 int timeout) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result));
278 * When a file descriptor has been returned from pwmd_open_nb() and after a
279 * successful read(), you should call pwmd_open_nb_finalize() to update the
280 * 'pwm' handle. If there was a pinentry or protocol error
281 * pwmd_open_nb_finalize() will return an error code or 0 on success. Note
282 * that pwmd_open_nb_finalize() will close the file descriptor returned from
283 * pwmd_open_nb().
285 gpg_error_t pwmd_open_nb_finalize(pwm_t *pwm, pwmd_nb_status_t *status) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result));
288 * This is the preferred way to do a non-blocking open. The difference from
289 * pwmd_open_nb() is that libpwmd wont fork() to get the pin. Instead, it will
290 * let pwmd use it's pinentry retrieval method. When successful this function
291 * returns 0 and pwmd_process() should be called until the command completes.
293 * If pwmd is unable to use pinentry, and non-blocking is needed, then
294 * pwmd_open_nb() can be used instead.
296 gpg_error_t pwmd_open_async(pwm_t *pwm, const char *filename) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result));
300 * After pwmd_open_async() or pwmd_save_async() returns 0, this function
301 * should be called until ASYNC_DONE is returned. It will return ASYNC_PROCESS
302 * when the command is still running. After ASYNC_DONE is returned, any error
303 * that may have occurred is stored in 'rc'. If an error occurred or not,
304 * pwmd_finalize() must be called to reset a control variable so the next
305 * async command may be performed.
307 pwmd_async_t pwmd_process(pwm_t *pwm, gpg_error_t *rc) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result));
311 * Resets the control variable for the associated handle. Call this function
312 * after ASYNC_DONE is returned from pwmd_process().
314 gpg_error_t pwmd_finalize(pwm_t *pwm) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result));
318 * Sends the SAVE command to the associated handle 'pwm'. If a password is
319 * required, how it is gotten depends on options set with pwmd_setopt().
320 * Returns 0 on success or an error code.
322 gpg_error_t pwmd_save(pwm_t *pwm) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result));
325 * This is like pwmd_save() but won't block the process when pinentry is used
326 * to retrieve the password. It returns -2 when the file is cached (ISCACHED)
327 * on the server or if the file doesn't exist on the file system (a new file).
328 * Otherwise it returns a file descriptor that select() can use. When ready
329 * for a read, read() should read a pwmd_nb_status_t. If there is a system
330 * error (pipe() or fork()), then -1 is returned and 'error' is set to an
331 * error code that pwmd_strerror() can describe. See pwmd_save_nb_finalize().
333 * Note that there is no timeout setting. If a password is required, pinentry
334 * won't timeout but will wait until either it is canceled or a successful
335 * passphrase is entered.
337 * Be sure to set PWMD_OPTION_PINENTRY.
339 int pwmd_save_nb(pwm_t *pwm, gpg_error_t *error) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result));
342 * When a file descriptor has been returned from pwmd_save_nb() and after a
343 * successful read(), you should call pwmd_save_nb_finalize() to update the
344 * 'pwm' handle. If there was a pinentry or protocol error
345 * pwmd_save_nb_finalize() will return an error code or 0 on success. Note
346 * that pwmd_save_nb_finalize() will close the file descriptor returned from
347 * pwmd_save_nb().
349 gpg_error_t pwmd_save_nb_finalize(pwm_t *pwm, pwmd_nb_status_t *status) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result));
352 * Like pwmd_save_nb() but uses pwmd to launch pinentry rather than having
353 * libpwmd fork(). This function returns 0 on success and pwmd_process()
354 * should be called until the command completes.
356 gpg_error_t pwmd_save_async(pwm_t *pwm) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result));
360 * Terminates a pinentry process. If your not using pwmd_open_nb() and want to
361 * timeout the associated pinentry process, then call this function after your
362 * timer has expired. Returns 0 on success or an error code.
364 gpg_error_t pwmd_terminate_pinentry(pwm_t *pwm) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result));
367 * Sends a protocol command 'cmd' to the daemon using handle 'pwm'. If the
368 * command fails an error code is returned which may be described by passing
369 * the error to pwmd_strerror(). If successful the function returns 0 and the
370 * 'result' is the character data of the command or NULL if there was none.
372 * For commands which use an INQUIRE (i.e., STORE), use pwmd_inquire() and not
373 * pwmd_command().
375 * A note about the BYE command: Client's should not send this command
376 * directly with pwmd_command(). They should use pwmd_close() instead because
377 * libassuan will close the file descriptors with the associated context.
379 gpg_error_t pwmd_command(pwm_t *pwm, char **result, const char *cmd, ...) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result));
380 gpg_error_t pwmd_command_ap(pwm_t *pwm, char **result, const char *cmd,
381 va_list ap) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result));
384 * Commands which use an INQUIRE to send data (i.e., STORE) should use this
385 * function and not pwmd_command(). 'cmd' is the command to send and is also
386 * the 'keyword' argument passed to the callback function 'func'. 'data' is
387 * user data passed to the callback function. Returns 0 on success or an
388 * error code which may have been returned from the callback function.
390 gpg_error_t pwmd_inquire(pwm_t *pwm, const char *cmd, pwmd_inquire_fn func,
391 void *data) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result));
394 * Free the memory used by the result of pwmd_command() if any. It is
395 * important to use this function because libpwmd keeps track of all memory
396 * de/allocations.
398 void pwmd_free_result(void *);
401 * Closes the connection to the socket and frees the resources of the handle.
402 * Returns no value.
404 void pwmd_close(pwm_t *pwm);
