+\& #include <openssl/ui.h>
+\&
+\& int UI_UTIL_read_pw_string(char *buf, int length, const char *prompt,
+\& int verify);
+\& int UI_UTIL_read_pw(char *buf, char *buff, int size, const char *prompt,

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+\&\fBUI_UTIL_read_pw_string()\fR asks for a passphrase, using \fBprompt\fR as a
+prompt, and stores it in \fBbuf\fR.
+The maximum allowed size is given with \fBlength\fR, including the
+terminating NUL byte.
+If \fBverify\fR is nonzero, the password will be verified as well.
+.PP
+\&\fBUI_UTIL_read_pw()\fR does the same as \fBUI_UTIL_read_pw_string()\fR, the
+difference is that you can give it an external buffer \fBbuff\fR for the
+verification passphrase.
+.PP
+\&\fBUI_UTIL_wrap_read_pem_callback()\fR can be used to create a temporary
+\&\fBUI_METHOD\fR that wraps a given PEM password callback \fBcb\fR.
+\&\fBrwflag\fR is used to specify if this method will be used for
+passphrase entry without (0) or with (1) verification.
+When not used any more, the returned method should be freed with
+\&\fBUI_destroy_method()\fR.
+.SH NOTES
+.IX Header "NOTES"
+\&\fBUI_UTIL_read_pw_string()\fR and \fBUI_UTIL_read_pw()\fR use default
+\&\fBUI_METHOD\fR.
+See \fBUI_get_default_method\fR\|(3) and friends for more information.
+.PP
+The result from the \fBUI_METHOD\fR created by
+\&\fBUI_UTIL_wrap_read_pem_callback()\fR will generate password strings in the
+encoding that the given password callback generates.
+The default password prompting functions (apart from
+\&\fBUI_UTIL_read_pw_string()\fR and \fBUI_UTIL_read_pw()\fR, there is
+\&\fBPEM_def_callback()\fR, \fBEVP_read_pw_string()\fR and \fBEVP_read_pw_string_min()\fR)
+all use the default \fBUI_METHOD\fR.
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
+\&\fBUI_UTIL_read_pw_string()\fR and \fBUI_UTIL_read_pw()\fR return 0 on success or a negative
+value on error.
+.PP
+\&\fBUI_UTIL_wrap_read_pem_callback()\fR returns a valid \fBUI_METHOD\fR structure or NULL
+if an error occurred.
