Through user-written methods -(see L<ui_create(3)|ui_create(3)>), prompting can be done in any way -imaginable, be it plain text prompting, through dialog boxes or from a -cell phone. - -All the functions work through a context of the type UI. This context -contains all the information needed to prompt correctly as well as a -reference to a UI_METHOD, which is an ordered vector of functions that -carry out the actual prompting. - -The first thing to do is to create a UI with UI_new() or UI_new_method(), -then add information to it with the UI_add or UI_dup functions. Also, -user-defined random data can be passed down to the underlying method -through calls to UI_add_user_data. The default UI method doesn't care -about these data, but other methods might. Finally, use UI_process() -to actually perform the prompting and UI_get0_result() to find the result -to the prompt. - -A UI can contain more than one prompt, which are performed in the given -sequence. Each prompt gets an index number which is returned by the -UI_add and UI_dup functions, and has to be used to get the corresponding -result with UI_get0_result(). - -The functions are as follows: - -UI_new() creates a new UI using the default UI method. When done with -this UI, it should be freed using UI_free(). - -UI_new_method() creates a new UI using the given UI method. When done with -this UI, it should be freed using UI_free(). - -UI_OpenSSL() returns the built-in UI method (note: not the default one, -since the default can be changed. See further on). This method is the -most machine/OS dependent part of OpenSSL and normally generates the -most problems when porting. - -UI_free() removes a UI from memory, along with all other pieces of memory -that's connected to it, like duplicated input strings, results and others. - -UI_add_input_string() and UI_add_verify_string() add a prompt to the UI, -as well as flags and a result buffer and the desired minimum and maximum -sizes of the result, not counting the final NUL character. The given -information is used to prompt for information, for example a password, -and to verify a password (i.e. having the user enter it twice and check -that the same string was entered twice). UI_add_verify_string() takes -and extra argument that should be a pointer to the result buffer of the -input string that it's supposed to verify, or verification will fail. - -UI_add_input_boolean() adds a prompt to the UI that's supposed to be answered -in a boolean way, with a single character for yes and a different character -for no. A set of characters that can be used to cancel the prompt is given -as well. The prompt itself is divided in two, one part being the -descriptive text (given through the I<prompt> argument) and one describing -the possible answers (given through the I<action_desc> argument). - -UI_add_info_string() and UI_add_error_string() add strings that are shown at -the same time as the prompt for extra information or to show an error string. -The difference between the two is only conceptual. With the builtin method, -there's no technical difference between them. Other methods may make a -difference between them, however. - -The flags currently supported are UI_INPUT_FLAG_ECHO, which is relevant for -UI_add_input_string() and will have the users response be echoed (when -prompting for a password, this flag should obviously not be used, and -UI_INPUT_FLAG_DEFAULT_PWD, which means that a default password of some -sort will be used (completely depending on the application and the UI -method). - -UI_dup_input_string(), UI_dup_verify_string(), UI_dup_input_boolean(), -UI_dup_info_string() and UI_dup_error_string() are basically the same -as their UI_add counterparts, except that they make their own copies -of all strings. - -UI_construct_prompt() is a helper function that can be used to create -a prompt from two pieces of information: an description and a name. -The default constructor (if there is none provided by the method used) -creates a string "Enter I<description> for I<name>:". With the -description "pass phrase" and the file name "foo.key", that becomes -"Enter pass phrase for foo.key:". Other methods may create whatever -string and may include encodings that will be processed by the other -method functions. - -UI_add_user_data() adds a piece of memory for the method to use at any -time. The builtin UI method doesn't care about this info. Note that several -calls to this function doesn't add data, it replaces the previous blob -with the one given as argument. - -UI_get0_user_data() retrieves the data that has last been given to the -UI with UI_add_user_data(). - -UI_get0_result() returns a pointer to the result buffer associated with -the information indexed by I<i>. - -UI_process() goes through the information given so far, does all the printing -and prompting and returns. - -UI_ctrl() adds extra control for the application author. For now, it -understands two commands: UI_CTRL_PRINT_ERRORS, which makes UI_process() -print the OpenSSL error stack as part of processing the UI, and -UI_CTRL_IS_REDOABLE, which returns a flag saying if the used UI can -be used again or not. - -UI_set_default_method() changes the default UI method to the one given. - -UI_get_default_method() returns a pointer to the current default UI method. - -UI_get_method() returns the UI method associated with a given UI. - -UI_set_method() changes the UI method associated with a given UI. - -=head1 SEE ALSO - -L<ui_create(3)|ui_create(3)>, L<ui_compat(3)|ui_compat(3)> - -=head1 HISTORY - -The UI section was first introduced in OpenSSL 0.9.7. - -=head1 AUTHOR - -Richard Levitte (richard@levitte.org) for the OpenSSL project -(http://www.openssl.org). - -=cut |
