19 /*! \headerfile libpwmd.h
21 * libpwmd is a library making it easy for applications to use the pwmd
22 * server. Pwmd version 2.0 or later is required; either locally or remotely.
25 /*! \section threads Multiple Threads
27 * \ref libpwmd should be thread-safe on a per handle bases. Meaning that only
28 * one thread should access a \ref pwm_t handle at a time.
30 * There is a limitation that when compiled with \ref pth(3) support SSH
31 * connections cannot make use of the \ref pth(3) IO functions and therefore
32 * will block while waiting on IO operations in other threads (as of libssh2
33 * 1.2.8).
36 /*! \section ssh SSH Details
38 * A remote connection to a pwmd server is possible by using an SSH channel
39 * which spawns a shell and executes a proxy server that connects to the pwmd
40 * local Unix Domain Socket. Authentication is done by using SSH public key
41 * (see \ref ssh-keygen(1)) authentication and verifying the host key against
42 * a local OpenSSH known hosts formatted file.
44 * The servers public key can be had by using \ref pwmd_get_hostkey() and
45 * storing the result in a file or done automatially by using a callback
46 * function \ref pwmd_knownhost_cb_t while connecting to the unknown host.
48 * On the server side you'll need a proxy server to connect to the real pwmd
49 * server. Here's an example \ref authorized_keys(5) entry that will do this.
50 * The \a public_key portion should be the same as the contents of the
51 * generated \ref ssh-keygen(1) \a identity.pub file which is passed as a
52 * parameter to the SSH connection functions:
54 * \code
55 * command="socat UNIX-CONNECT:$HOME/.pwmd/socket -" <public_key> ...
56 * \endcode
58 * \note Only an SSH identity without a passphrase is supported. For now
59 * anyway. This is a limitation of libssh2 (version 1.1 as of this writing).
61 * \version 6.0.3
62 * The first version to use the OpenSSH known hosts file format exclusively.
63 * Earlier versions used only an SHA1 hash of the host key.
65 * \x11
68 /*! \section pinentry Pinentry Details
70 * \ref pinentry(1) is a program that prompts the user for input which is
71 * normally a passphrase or a confirmation. libpwmd can use this program
72 * either locally (X11 forwarding is not yet supported) or have the pwmd
73 * server use it's pinentry to retrieve a passphrase when needed. How this is
74 * done depends what function gets called and whether the pwmd connection is
75 * over an SSH channel.
77 * There are a few options that tell pinentry how and where to prompt for a
78 * needed passphrase. See the \ref pwmd_option_t section for details. These
79 * options are not sent (when using pwmd's pinentry, not the local one) until
80 * the pinentry is needed.
82 * If using a local pinentry by calling \ref pwmd_open2(), \ref pwmd_save2(),
83 * \ref pwmd_open_async2() or pwmd_save_async2(), libpwmd will send the
84 * command "SET ENABLE_PINENTRY=0" to the pwmd server. This is needed so pwmd
85 * wont try to launch it's own pinentry on passphrase or confirmation failure.
86 * So you may need to reset this option manually depending on your needs;
87 * especially when changing pinentry methods when doing a save (the passphrase
88 * may be set as empty since the remote pinentry is disabled!).
90 * Some pinentry options can also be specified in a local configuration file
91 * \a "~/.pwmd/pinentry.conf". These options are initial values for each
92 * pinentry invokation (not retries) and may be changed by setting the
93 * appropriate \ref pwmd_option_t. Each option and value is separated with a
94 * '=' on a single line. Unrecognized options are ignored. Here are the
95 * recognized options:
97 * \param PATH The full path to the location of the pinentry binary.
98 * \param DISPLAY The X11 display to use.
99 * \param TTYNAME The full path to the tty that pinentry should prompt on.
100 * \param TTYTYPE The terminal type of the tty which is required if DISPLAY is
101 * not set.
103 * \filepath
105 * \note The initial values for the pinentry TTY, TERM and DISPLAY are set
106 * during \ref pwmd_new() depending on the current environment. They may need
107 * to be reset as needed.
109 * \note After establishing an SSH connection, the pwmd pinentry is disabled
110 * by sending the command "SET ENABLE_PINENTRY=0". This is needed because
111 * there currently isn't a way to have the remote pinentry use the local
112 * display. You must be careful to use either a local pinentry or set a
113 * passphrase manually with \ref pwmd_setopt() when a passphrase is required
114 * or needed.
116 * \x11
118 * \see \ref ssh
121 /*! \section Errors
123 * libpwmd uses libgpg-error for all error codes. Some are user defined
124 * GPG_ERR_USER_N codes, but most are reused from the existing ones. Error
125 * codes can be described by using \ref pwmd_strerror(), or the thread-safe
126 * \ref pwmd_strerror_r().
128 * \note libgpg-error normally returns an error code as a bitmask of an error
129 * source and the actual error code. In order to simplify the result codes,
130 * libpwmd strips any error source from the error code before returning it.
