Through user-written methods +(see L), 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. 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() to find the result +to the prompt. + +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(). + +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 necessarely 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 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 argument) and one describing +the possible answers (given through the I 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 builtin method, +there's no technical difference between them. Other methods may make a +difference between them, however. + +The flags currently supported are B, 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, 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: an description and a name. +The default constructor (if there is none provided by the method used) +creates a string "Enter I for I:". With the +description "pass phrase" and the file name "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 piece of memory for the method to use at any +time. The builtin 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_get0_user_data() retrieves the data that has last been given to the +UI with UI_add_user_data(). + +UI_get0_result() returns a pointer to the result buffer associated with +the information indexed by 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, which makes UI_process() +print the OpenSSL error stack as part of processing the UI, and +B, 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 OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8 environment variable is set, +the built-in method UI_OpenSSL() will produce UTF-8 encoded strings +instead. + +=head1 COPYRIGHT + +Copyright 2001-2017 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
