  63. .SH NAME
  64. ossl_store\-file \- The store 'file' scheme loader
  65. .SH SYNOPSIS
  66. .IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
  67. #include <openssl/store.h>
  68. .SH DESCRIPTION
  69. .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
  70. Support for the 'file' scheme is built into \f(CW\*(C`libcrypto\*(C'\fR.
  71. Since files come in all kinds of formats and content types, the 'file'
  72. scheme has its own layer of functionality called "file handlers",
  73. which are used to try to decode diverse types of file contents.
  74. .PP
  75. In case a file is formatted as PEM, each called file handler receives
  76. the PEM name (everything following any '\f(CW\*(C`\-\-\-\-\-BEGIN \*(C'\fR') as well as
  77. possible PEM headers, together with the decoded PEM body. Since PEM
  78. formatted files can contain more than one object, the file handlers
  79. are called upon for each such object.
  80. .PP
  81. If the file isn't determined to be formatted as PEM, the content is
  82. loaded in raw form in its entirety and passed to the available file
  83. handlers as is, with no PEM name or headers.
  84. .PP
  85. Each file handler is expected to handle PEM and non-PEM content as
  86. appropriate. Some may refuse non-PEM content for the sake of
  87. determinism (for example, there are keys out in the wild that are
  88. represented as an ASN.1 OCTET STRING. In raw form, it's not easily
  89. possible to distinguish those from any other data coming as an ASN.1
  90. OCTET STRING, so such keys would naturally be accepted as PEM files
  91. only).
  92. .SH NOTES
  93. .IX Header "NOTES"
  94. When needed, the 'file' scheme loader will require a pass phrase by
  95. using the \fBUI_METHOD\fR that was passed via \fBOSSL_STORE_open()\fR.
  96. This pass phrase is expected to be UTF\-8 encoded, anything else will
  97. give an undefined result.
  98. The files made accessible through this loader are expected to be
  99. standard compliant with regards to pass phrase encoding.
  100. Files that aren't should be re-generated with a correctly encoded pass
  101. phrase.
  102. See \fBpassphrase\-encoding\fR\|(7) for more information.
