  206. .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
  207. \&\s-1UI\s0 stands for User Interface, and is general purpose set of routines to
  208. prompt the user for text-based information. Through user-written methods
  209. (see \fBUI_create_method\fR\|(3)), prompting can be done in any way
  210. imaginable, be it plain text prompting, through dialog boxes or from a
  211. cell phone.
  212. .PP
  213. All the functions work through a context of the type \s-1UI.\s0 This context
  214. contains all the information needed to prompt correctly as well as a
  215. reference to a \s-1UI_METHOD,\s0 which is an ordered vector of functions that
  216. carry out the actual prompting.
  217. .PP
  218. The first thing to do is to create a \s-1UI\s0 with \fBUI_new()\fR or \fBUI_new_method()\fR,
  219. then add information to it with the UI_add or UI_dup functions. Also,
  220. user-defined random data can be passed down to the underlying method
  221. through calls to \fBUI_add_user_data()\fR or \fBUI_dup_user_data()\fR. The default
  222. \&\s-1UI\s0 method doesn't care about these data, but other methods might. Finally,
  223. use \fBUI_process()\fR to actually perform the prompting and \fBUI_get0_result()\fR
  224. and \fBUI_get_result_length()\fR to find the result to the prompt and its length.
  225. .PP
  226. A \s-1UI\s0 can contain more than one prompt, which are performed in the given
  227. sequence. Each prompt gets an index number which is returned by the
  228. UI_add and UI_dup functions, and has to be used to get the corresponding
  229. result with \fBUI_get0_result()\fR and \fBUI_get_result_length()\fR.
  230. .PP
  231. \&\fBUI_process()\fR can be called more than once on the same \s-1UI,\s0 thereby allowing
  232. a \s-1UI\s0 to have a long lifetime, but can just as well have a short lifetime.
  233. .PP
  234. The functions are as follows:
  235. .PP
  236. \&\fBUI_new()\fR creates a new \s-1UI\s0 using the default \s-1UI\s0 method. When done with
  237. this \s-1UI,\s0 it should be freed using \fBUI_free()\fR.
  238. .PP
  239. \&\fBUI_new_method()\fR creates a new \s-1UI\s0 using the given \s-1UI\s0 method. When done with
  240. this \s-1UI,\s0 it should be freed using \fBUI_free()\fR.
  241. .PP
  242. \&\fBUI_OpenSSL()\fR returns the built-in \s-1UI\s0 method (note: not necessarily the
  243. default one, since the default can be changed. See further on). This
  244. method is the most machine/OS dependent part of OpenSSL and normally
  245. generates the most problems when porting.
  246. .PP
  247. \&\fBUI_null()\fR returns a \s-1UI\s0 method that does nothing. Its use is to avoid
  248. getting internal defaults for passed \s-1UI_METHOD\s0 pointers.
  249. .PP
  250. \&\fBUI_free()\fR removes a \s-1UI\s0 from memory, along with all other pieces of memory
  251. that's connected to it, like duplicated input strings, results and others.
  252. If \fBui\fR is \s-1NULL\s0 nothing is done.
  253. .PP
  254. \&\fBUI_add_input_string()\fR and \fBUI_add_verify_string()\fR add a prompt to the \s-1UI,\s0
  255. as well as flags and a result buffer and the desired minimum and maximum
  256. sizes of the result, not counting the final \s-1NUL\s0 character. The given
  257. information is used to prompt for information, for example a password,
  258. and to verify a password (i.e. having the user enter it twice and check
  259. that the same string was entered twice). \fBUI_add_verify_string()\fR takes
  260. and extra argument that should be a pointer to the result buffer of the
  261. input string that it's supposed to verify, or verification will fail.
  262. .PP
  263. \&\fBUI_add_input_boolean()\fR adds a prompt to the \s-1UI\s0 that's supposed to be answered
  264. in a boolean way, with a single character for yes and a different character
  265. for no. A set of characters that can be used to cancel the prompt is given
  266. as well. The prompt itself is divided in two, one part being the
  267. descriptive text (given through the \fIprompt\fR argument) and one describing
  268. the possible answers (given through the \fIaction_desc\fR argument).
  269. .PP
  270. \&\fBUI_add_info_string()\fR and \fBUI_add_error_string()\fR add strings that are shown at
  271. the same time as the prompt for extra information or to show an error string.
  272. The difference between the two is only conceptual. With the built-in method,
  273. there's no technical difference between them. Other methods may make a
  274. difference between them, however.
  275. .PP
  276. The flags currently supported are \fB\s-1UI_INPUT_FLAG_ECHO\s0\fR, which is relevant for
  277. \&\fBUI_add_input_string()\fR and will have the users response be echoed (when
  278. prompting for a password, this flag should obviously not be used, and
  279. \&\fB\s-1UI_INPUT_FLAG_DEFAULT_PWD\s0\fR, which means that a default password of some
  280. sort will be used (completely depending on the application and the \s-1UI\s0
  281. method).
  282. .PP
  283. \&\fBUI_dup_input_string()\fR, \fBUI_dup_verify_string()\fR, \fBUI_dup_input_boolean()\fR,
  284. \&\fBUI_dup_info_string()\fR and \fBUI_dup_error_string()\fR are basically the same
  285. as their UI_add counterparts, except that they make their own copies
  286. of all strings.
  287. .PP
  288. \&\fBUI_construct_prompt()\fR is a helper function that can be used to create
  289. a prompt from two pieces of information: a phrase description \fIphrase_desc\fR
  290. and an object name \fIobject_name\fR, where the latter may be \s-1NULL.\s0
  291. The default constructor (if there is none provided by the method used)
  292. creates a string "Enter \fIphrase_desc\fR for \fIobject_name\fR:\*(L"
  293. where the \*(R" for \fIobject_name\fR" part is left out if \fIobject_name\fR is \s-1NULL.\s0
  294. With the description \*(L"pass phrase\*(R" and the filename \*(L"foo.key\*(R", that becomes
  295. \&\*(L"Enter pass phrase for foo.key:\*(R". Other methods may create whatever
  296. string and may include encodings that will be processed by the other
  297. method functions.
  298. .PP
  299. \&\fBUI_add_user_data()\fR adds a user data pointer for the method to use at any
  300. time. The built-in \s-1UI\s0 method doesn't care about this info. Note that several
  301. calls to this function doesn't add data, it replaces the previous blob
  302. with the one given as argument.
  303. .PP
  304. \&\fBUI_dup_user_data()\fR duplicates the user data and works as an alternative
  305. to \fBUI_add_user_data()\fR when the user data needs to be preserved for a longer
  306. duration, perhaps even the lifetime of the application. The \s-1UI\s0 object takes
  307. ownership of this duplicate and will free it whenever it gets replaced or
  308. the \s-1UI\s0 is destroyed. \fBUI_dup_user_data()\fR returns 0 on success, or \-1 on memory
  309. allocation failure or if the method doesn't have a duplicator function.
  310. .PP
  311. \&\fBUI_get0_user_data()\fR retrieves the data that has last been given to the
  312. \&\s-1UI\s0 with \fBUI_add_user_data()\fR or UI_dup_user_data.
  313. .PP
  314. \&\fBUI_get0_result()\fR returns a pointer to the result buffer associated with
  315. the information indexed by \fIi\fR.
  316. .PP
  317. \&\fBUI_get_result_length()\fR returns the length of the result buffer associated with
  318. the information indexed by \fIi\fR.
  319. .PP
  320. \&\fBUI_process()\fR goes through the information given so far, does all the printing
  321. and prompting and returns the final status, which is \-2 on out-of-band events
  322. (Interrupt, Cancel, ...), \-1 on error and 0 on success.
  323. .PP
  324. \&\fBUI_ctrl()\fR adds extra control for the application author. For now, it
  325. understands two commands: \fB\s-1UI_CTRL_PRINT_ERRORS\s0\fR, which makes \fBUI_process()\fR
  326. print the OpenSSL error stack as part of processing the \s-1UI,\s0 and
  327. \&\fB\s-1UI_CTRL_IS_REDOABLE\s0\fR, which returns a flag saying if the used \s-1UI\s0 can
  328. be used again or not.

  341. The resulting strings that the built in method \fBUI_OpenSSL()\fR generate
  342. are assumed to be encoded according to the current locale or (for
  343. Windows) code page.
  344. For applications having different demands, these strings need to be
  345. converted appropriately by the caller.
  346. For Windows, if the \fB\s-1OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8\s0\fR environment variable is set,
  347. the built-in method \fBUI_OpenSSL()\fR will produce \s-1UTF\-8\s0 encoded strings
  348. instead.
