=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
UI stands for User Interface, and is general purpose set of routines to
|
|
prompt the user for text-based information. Through user-written methods
|
|
(see L<UI_create_method(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() or UI_dup_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()
|
|
and UI_get_result_length() to find the result to the prompt and its length.
|
|
|
|
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() and UI_get_result_length().
|
|
|
|
UI_process() can be called more than once on the same UI, thereby allowing
|
|
a UI to have a long lifetime, but can just as well have a short lifetime.
|
|
|
|
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 necessarily 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_null() returns a UI method that does nothing. Its use is to avoid
|
|
getting internal defaults for passed UI_METHOD pointers.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
If B<ui> is NULL nothing is done.
|
|
|
|
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 built-in method,
|
|
there's no technical difference between them. Other methods may make a
|
|
difference between them, however.
|
|
|
|
The flags currently supported are B<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
|
|
B<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: a phrase description I<phrase_desc>
|
|
and an object name I<object_name>, where the latter may be NULL.
|
|
The default constructor (if there is none provided by the method used)
|
|
creates a string "Enter I<phrase_desc> for I<object_name>:"
|
|
where the " for I<object_name>" part is left out if I<object_name> is NULL.
|
|
With the description "pass phrase" and the filename "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 user data pointer for the method to use at any
|
|
time. The built-in 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_dup_user_data() duplicates the user data and works as an alternative
|
|
to UI_add_user_data() when the user data needs to be preserved for a longer
|
|
duration, perhaps even the lifetime of the application. The UI object takes
|
|
ownership of this duplicate and will free it whenever it gets replaced or
|
|
the UI is destroyed. UI_dup_user_data() returns 0 on success, or -1 on memory
|
|
allocation failure or if the method doesn't have a duplicator function.
|
|
|
|
UI_get0_user_data() retrieves the data that has last been given to the
|
|
UI with UI_add_user_data() or UI_dup_user_data.
|
|
|
|
UI_get0_result() returns a pointer to the result buffer associated with
|
|
the information indexed by I<i>.
|
|
|
|
UI_get_result_length() returns the length of 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 the final status, which is -2 on out-of-band events
|
|
(Interrupt, Cancel, ...), -1 on error and 0 on success.
|
|
|
|
UI_ctrl() adds extra control for the application author. For now, it
|
|
understands two commands: B<UI_CTRL_PRINT_ERRORS>, which makes UI_process()
|
|
print the OpenSSL error stack as part of processing the UI, and
|
|
B<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.
|
|
This function is not thread-safe and should not be called at the same time
|
|
as other OpenSSL functions.
|
|
|
|
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 NOTES
|
|
|
|
The resulting strings that the built in method UI_OpenSSL() generate
|
|
are assumed to be encoded according to the current locale or (for
|
|
Windows) code page.
|
|
For applications having different demands, these strings need to be
|
|
converted appropriately by the caller.
|
|
For Windows, if the B<OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8> environment variable is set,
|
|
the built-in method UI_OpenSSL() will produce UTF-8 encoded strings
|
|
instead.
|
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|

|
|
occurred.

|
|
UI_add_info_string(), UI_dup_info_string(), UI_add_error_string()
|
|
and UI_dup_error_string() return a positive number on success or a value which
|
|
is less than or equal to 0 otherwise.
|
|
