.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm readpassphrase
|
|
.Nd get a passphrase from the user
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Fd #include <readpassphrase.h>
|
|
.Ft char *
|
|
.Fn readpassphrase "const char *prompt" "char *buf" "size_t bufsiz" "int flags"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn readpassphrase
|
|
function displays a prompt to, and reads in a passphrase from,
|
|
.Pa /dev/tty .
|
|
If this file is inaccessible
|
|
and the
|
|
.Dv RPP_REQUIRE_TTY
|
|
flag is not set,
|
|
.Fn readpassphrase
|
|
displays the prompt on the standard error output and reads from the standard
|
|
input.
|
|
In this case it is generally not possible to turn off echo.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Up to
|
|
.Fa bufsiz
|
|
- 1 characters (one is for the NUL) are read into the provided buffer
|
|
.Fa buf .
|
|
Any additional
|
|
characters and the terminating newline (or return) character are discarded.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn readpassphrase
|
|
takes the following optional
|
|
.Fa flags :
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent -compact
|
|
RPP_ECHO_OFF turn off echo (default behavior)
|
|
RPP_ECHO_ON leave echo on
|
|
RPP_REQUIRE_TTY fail if there is no tty
|
|
RPP_FORCELOWER force input to lower case
|
|
RPP_FORCEUPPER force input to upper case
|
|
RPP_SEVENBIT strip the high bit from input
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The calling process should zero the passphrase as soon as possible to
|
|
avoid leaving the cleartext passphrase visible in the process's address
|
|
space.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
Upon successful completion,
|
|
.Fn readpassphrase
|
|
returns a pointer to the null-terminated passphrase.
|
|
If an error is encountered, the terminal state is restored and
|
|
a null pointer is returned.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EINTR
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn readpassphrase
|
|
function was interrupted by a signal.
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar bufsiz
|
|
argument was zero.
|
|
.It Bq Er EIO
|
|
The process is a member of a background process attempting to read
|
|
from its controlling terminal, the process is ignoring or blocking
|
|
the SIGTTIN signal or the process group is orphaned.
|
|
.It Bq Er EMFILE
|
|
The process has already reached its limit for open file descriptors.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENFILE
|
|
The system file table is full.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOTTY
|
|
There is no controlling terminal and the
|
|
.Dv RPP_REQUIRE_TTY
|
|
flag was specified.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
The following code fragment will read a passphrase from
|
|
.Pa /dev/tty
|
|
into the buffer
|
|
.Fa passbuf.
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
char passbuf[1024];
|
|
|
|
\&...
|
|
|
|
if (readpassphrase("Response: ", passbuf, sizeof(passbuf),
|
|
RPP_REQUIRE_TTY) == NULL)
|
|
errx(1, "unable to read passphrase");
|
|
|
|
if (compare(transform(passbuf), epass) != 0)
|
|
errx(1, "bad passphrase");
|
|
|
|
\&...
|
|
|
|
memset(passbuf, 0, sizeof(passbuf));
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Sh SIGNALS
|
|
.Fn readpassphrase
|
|
will catch the following signals:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent -compact
|
|
SIGINT
|
|
SIGHUP
|
|
SIGQUIT
|
|
SIGTERM
|
|
SIGTSTP
|
|
SIGTTIN
|
|
SIGTTOU
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When one of the above signals is intercepted, terminal echo will
|
|
be restored if it had previously been turned off.
|
|
If a signal handler was installed for the signal when
|
|
.Fn readpassphrase
|
|
was called that handler is then executed.
|
|
If no handler was previously installed for the signal then the
|
|
default action is taken as per
|
|
.Xr sigaction 2 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Dv SIGTSTP ,
|
|
.Dv SIGTTIN ,
|
|
.Dv SIGTTOU ,
|
|
signals (stop signal generated from keyboard or due to terminal I/O
|
|
from a background proccess) are treated specially.
|
|
When the process is resumed after it has been stopped,
|
|
.Fn readpassphrase
|
|
will reprint the prompt and the user may then enter a passphrase.
