.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
\&\s-1UI\s0 stands for User Interface, and is general purpose set of routines to
|
|
prompt the user for text-based information. Through user-written methods
|
|
(see \fIui_create\fR\|(3)), prompting can be done in any way
|
|
imaginable, be it plain text prompting, through dialog boxes or from a
|
|
cell phone.
|
|
.PP
|
|
All the functions work through a context of the type \s-1UI\s0. This context
|
|
contains all the information needed to prompt correctly as well as a
|
|
reference to a \s-1UI_METHOD\s0, which is an ordered vector of functions that
|
|
carry out the actual prompting.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The first thing to do is to create a \s-1UI\s0 with \fIUI_new()\fR or \fIUI_new_method()\fR,
|
|
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 \s-1UI\s0 method doesn't care
|
|
about these data, but other methods might. Finally, use \fIUI_process()\fR
|
|
to actually perform the prompting and \fIUI_get0_result()\fR to find the result
|
|
to the prompt.
|
|
.PP
|
|
A \s-1UI\s0 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 \fIUI_get0_result()\fR.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The functions are as follows:
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIUI_new()\fR creates a new \s-1UI\s0 using the default \s-1UI\s0 method. When done with
|
|
this \s-1UI\s0, it should be freed using \fIUI_free()\fR.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIUI_new_method()\fR creates a new \s-1UI\s0 using the given \s-1UI\s0 method. When done with
|
|
this \s-1UI\s0, it should be freed using \fIUI_free()\fR.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIUI_OpenSSL()\fR returns the built-in \s-1UI\s0 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.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIUI_free()\fR removes a \s-1UI\s0 from memory, along with all other pieces of memory
|
|
that's connected to it, like duplicated input strings, results and others.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIUI_add_input_string()\fR and \fIUI_add_verify_string()\fR add a prompt to the \s-1UI\s0,
|
|
as well as flags and a result buffer and the desired minimum and maximum
|
|
sizes of the result. 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).
|
|
\&\fIUI_add_verify_string()\fR 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.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIUI_add_input_boolean()\fR adds a prompt to the \s-1UI\s0 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 really divided in two, one part being the
|
|
descriptive text (given through the \fIprompt\fR argument) and one describing
|
|
the possible answers (given through the \fIaction_desc\fR argument).
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIUI_add_info_string()\fR and \fIUI_add_error_string()\fR 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.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The flags currently supported are \s-1UI_INPUT_FLAG_ECHO\s0, which is relevant for
|
|
\&\fIUI_add_input_string()\fR and will have the users response be echoed (when
|
|
prompting for a password, this flag should obviously not be used, and
|
|
\&\s-1UI_INPUT_FLAG_DEFAULT_PWD\s0, which means that a default password of some
|
|
sort will be used (completely depending on the application and the \s-1UI\s0
|
|
method).
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIUI_dup_input_string()\fR, \fIUI_dup_verify_string()\fR, \fIUI_dup_input_boolean()\fR,
|
|
\&\fIUI_dup_info_string()\fR and \fIUI_dup_error_string()\fR are basically the same
|
|
as their UI_add counterparts, except that they make their own copies
|
|
of all strings.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIUI_construct_prompt()\fR 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 \fIdescription\fR for \fIname\fR:\*(L". With the
|
|
description \*(R"pass phrase\*(L" and the file name \*(R"foo.key\*(L", that becomes
|
|
\&\*(R"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.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIUI_add_user_data()\fR adds a piece of memory for the method to use at any
|
|
time. The builtin \s-1UI\s0 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.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIUI_get0_user_data()\fR retrieves the data that has last been given to the
|
|
\&\s-1UI\s0 with \fIUI_add_user_data()\fR.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIUI_get0_result()\fR returns a pointer to the result buffer associated with
|
|
the information indexed by \fIi\fR.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIUI_process()\fR goes through the information given so far, does all the printing
|
|
and prompting and returns.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIUI_ctrl()\fR adds extra control for the application author. For now, it
|
|
understands two commands: \s-1UI_CTRL_PRINT_ERRORS\s0, which makes \fIUI_process()\fR
|
|
print the OpenSSL error stack as part of processing the \s-1UI\s0, and
|
|
\&\s-1UI_CTRL_IS_REDOABLE\s0, which returns a flag saying if the used \s-1UI\s0 can
|
|
be used again or not.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIUI_set_default_method()\fR changes the default \s-1UI\s0 method to the one given.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIUI_get_default_method()\fR returns a pointer to the current default \s-1UI\s0 method.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIUI_get_method()\fR returns the \s-1UI\s0 method associated with a given \s-1UI\s0.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIUI_set_method()\fR changes the \s-1UI\s0 method associated with a given \s-1UI\s0.
