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. Update: Use pwmd_open|save_async()
46 * instead.

69 * the keyword.
71 typedef int (*pwmd_status_fn)(void *data, const char *line);
74 * A callback function that is passed to pwmd_inquire(). 'data' is the user
75 * data that was passed to pwmd_inquire(). 'keyword' is the same as the 'cmd'
76 * argument to pwmd_inquire().
78 * 'rc' is the return code from assuan_send_data() and is initially 0 on the
79 * first call to the set callback. This gives the client a chance to cleanup
80 * if assuan_send_data() fails for some reason and should probably return the
81 * same error code, if set, after doing so.
83 * 'result' should be set to the data to be sent which is of 'len' bytes. The
84 * data is not modified.
86 * The function should return GPG_ERR_EOF when no more data needs to be sent
87 * or to finish sending the set 'result' and end the INQUIRE, 0 if there is
88 * more data pending or an error code which will terminate the INQUIRE.

110 * PWMD_OPTION_PINENTRY
112 * The following argument should be of type int and set to 1 to enable the
113 * use of pinentry(1) to retrieve passwords. Setting to 0 will disable
114 * using pinentry and the password must be set with PWMD_OPTION_PASSWORD
115 * or gotten from PWMD_OPTION_PASSWORD_FUNC. The pwmd command "OPTION
116 * PINENTRY=0" is sent when this option is set (1) to prevent pinentry
117 * from being called on the pwmd server and enabled when unset.
119 PWMD_OPTION_PINENTRY,
122 * PWMD_OPTION_PINENTRY_TRIES
124 * The number of password tries before giving up. If the pinentry "Cancel"
125 * button is selected, pinentry will abort. Must be > 0. The default is 3.
127 PWMD_OPTION_PINENTRY_TRIES,

162 * password to use when the PWMD_OPEN or PWMD_SAVE commands are issued and
163 * PWMD_OPTION_PINENTRY is 0. The password will be kept in memory until
164 * pwmd_close() is called so setting this option isn't needed each time
165 * pwmd_open() or pwmd_save() is called regardless of pwmd cache settings.
167 PWMD_OPTION_PASSWORD,
170 * PWMD_OPTION_PINENTRY_TITLE
171 * PWMD_OPTION_PINENTRY_PROMPT
172 * PWMD_OPTION_PINENTRY_DESC
174 * The following argument is of type char* which specifies either the
175 * title, prompt or description in the pinentry program when
176 * PWMD_OPTION_PINENTRY is set. Note that any CR, LF or % must be percent
177 * escape (the hexidecimal value of the character).

223 * A wrapper around assuan_pending_line() and assuan_read_line(). Returns 0 if
224 * there was a pending line and sets 'line' to the content and 'len' to the
225 * length. Returns GPG_ERR_NO_DATA if there was no pending line or any error
226 * from assuan_read_line().
228 gpg_error_t pwmd_pending_line(pwm_t *pwm, char **line, size_t *len) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result));
231 * Sets a libpwmd option 'opt'. The next argument should be of the data type
232 * required for the option. Returns 0 on success or an error code.
234 gpg_error_t pwmd_setopt(pwm_t *pwm, pwmd_option_t opt, ...) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result));
237 * Opens a file 'filename' (the OPEN command). The filename is not a full path
238 * but only filename which is looked for in the pwmd configured data
239 * directory. How the password is gotten depends on options set with
240 * pwmd_setopt() and whether the file is cached on the server. Returns 0 on
241 * success or an error code.
243 gpg_error_t pwmd_open(pwm_t *pwm, const char *filename) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result));
246 * This is like pwmd_open() but won't block the process when pinentry is used
247 * to retrieve the password. It returns -2 when the file is cached (ISCACHED)
248 * on the server or if the file doesn't exist on the file system (a new file).
249 * Otherwise it returns a file descriptor that select() can use. When ready
250 * for a read, read() should read a pwmd_nb_status_t. If there is a system
251 * error (pipe() or fork()), then -1 is returned and 'error' is set to an
252 * error code that pwmd_strerror() can describe. See pwmd_open_nb_finalize().
254 * The 'timeout' parameter specifies the number of seconds until the pinentry
255 * terminates. Setting to 0 (the default) will disable timeouts. Note that the
256 * child process will reset the SIGALRM handler (if any) to it's own handler
257 * and that the actual OPEN command isn't calculated as part of the elapsed
258 * time.
260 * Be sure to set PWMD_OPTION_PINENTRY.
262 int pwmd_open_nb(pwm_t *pwm, gpg_error_t *error, const char *filename,
263 int timeout) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result,deprecated));
266 * When a file descriptor has been returned from pwmd_open_nb() and after a
267 * successful read(), you should call pwmd_open_nb_finalize() to update the
268 * 'pwm' handle. If there was a pinentry or protocol error
269 * pwmd_open_nb_finalize() will return an error code or 0 on success. Note
270 * that pwmd_open_nb_finalize() will close the file descriptor returned from
271 * pwmd_open_nb().
273 gpg_error_t pwmd_open_nb_finalize(pwm_t *pwm, pwmd_nb_status_t *status) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result,deprecated));
276 * This is another way to do a non-blocking open. The difference from
277 * pwmd_open_nb() is that libpwmd wont fork() to get the pin. Instead, it will
278 * let pwmd use it's pinentry retrieval method. When successful this function
279 * returns 0 and pwmd_process() should be called until the command completes.
281 gpg_error_t pwmd_open_async(pwm_t *pwm, const char *filename) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result));
285 * After pwmd_open_async() or pwmd_save_async() returns 0, this function
286 * should be called until ASYNC_DONE is returned. It will return ASYNC_PROCESS
287 * when the command is still running. After ASYNC_DONE is returned, any error
288 * that may have occurred is stored in 'rc'. If an error occurred or not,
289 * pwmd_finalize() must be called to reset a control variable so the next
290 * async command may be performed.
292 pwmd_async_t pwmd_process(pwm_t *pwm, gpg_error_t *rc) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result));
296 * Resets the control variable for the associated handle. Call this function
297 * after ASYNC_DONE is returned from pwmd_process().
299 gpg_error_t pwmd_finalize(pwm_t *pwm) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result));
303 * Sends the SAVE command to the associated handle 'pwm'. If a password is
304 * required, how it is gotten depends on options set with pwmd_setopt().
305 * Returns 0 on success or an error code.
307 gpg_error_t pwmd_save(pwm_t *pwm) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result));
310 * This is like pwmd_save() but won't block the process when pinentry is used
311 * to retrieve the password. It returns -2 when the file is cached (ISCACHED)
312 * on the server or if the file doesn't exist on the file system (a new file).
313 * Otherwise it returns a file descriptor that select() can use. When ready
314 * for a read, read() should read a pwmd_nb_status_t. If there is a system
315 * error (pipe() or fork()), then -1 is returned and 'error' is set to an
316 * error code that pwmd_strerror() can describe. See pwmd_save_nb_finalize().
318 * Note that there is no timeout setting. If a password is required, pinentry
319 * won't timeout.
321 * Be sure to set PWMD_OPTION_PINENTRY.
323 int pwmd_save_nb(pwm_t *pwm, gpg_error_t *error) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result,deprecated));
326 * When a file descriptor has been returned from pwmd_save_nb() and after a
327 * successful read(), you should call pwmd_save_nb_finalize() to update the
328 * 'pwm' handle. If there was a pinentry or protocol error
329 * pwmd_save_nb_finalize() will return an error code or 0 on success. Note
330 * that pwmd_save_nb_finalize() will close the file descriptor returned from
331 * pwmd_save_nb().
333 gpg_error_t pwmd_save_nb_finalize(pwm_t *pwm, pwmd_nb_status_t *status) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result,deprecated));
336 * Like pwmd_save_nb() but uses pwmd to launch pinentry rather than having
337 * libpwmd fork(). This function returns 0 on success and pwmd_process()
338 * should be called until the command completes.
340 gpg_error_t pwmd_save_async(pwm_t *pwm) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result));
344 * Terminates a pinentry process. If your not using pwmd_open_nb() and want to
345 * timeout the associated pinentry process, then call this function after your
346 * timer has expired. Returns 0 on success or an error code.
348 gpg_error_t pwmd_terminate_pinentry(pwm_t *pwm) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result));
351 * Sends a protocol command 'cmd' to the daemon using handle 'pwm'. If the
352 * command fails an error code is returned which may be described by passing
353 * the error to pwmd_strerror(). If successful the function returns 0 and the
354 * 'result' is the character data of the command or NULL if there was none.
356 * For commands which use an INQUIRE (i.e., STORE), use pwmd_inquire() and not
357 * pwmd_command().
359 * A note about the BYE command: Client's should not send this command
360 * directly with pwmd_command(). They should use pwmd_close() instead because
361 * libassuan will close the file descriptors with the associated context. This
362 * is fine except when pwmd_close() is called. pwmd_close() calls
363 * assuan_disconnect() which then sends the BYE command to the closed file
364 * descriptor resulting in a segfault.
366 gpg_error_t pwmd_command(pwm_t *pwm, char **result, const char *cmd, ...) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result));
369 * Commands which use an INQUIRE to send data (i.e., STORE) should use this
370 * function and not pwmd_command(). 'cmd' is the command to send and is also
371 * the 'keyword' argument to the callback function 'func'. 'data' is user data
372 * passed to the callback function. Returnes 0 on success or and error code
373 * which may have been returned from the callback function.
375 gpg_error_t pwmd_inquire(pwm_t *pwm, const char *cmd, pwmd_inquire_fn func,
376 void *data) __attribute__ ((warn_unused_result));
379 * Free the memory used by the result of pwmd_command() if any. It is
380 * important to use this function because libpwmd keeps track of all memory
381 * de/allocations.
383 void pwmd_free_result(void *);
386 * Closes the connection to the socket and frees the resources of the handle.
387 * Returns no value.
