NAME
UI_UTIL_read_pw,
UI_UTIL_read_pw_string —
get a password from the user
SYNOPSIS
#include
<openssl/ui.h>
int
UI_UTIL_read_pw_string(char
*buf, int length,
const char *prompt,
int verify);
int
UI_UTIL_read_pw(char
*buf, char *buff,
int size, const
char *prompt, int verify);
DESCRIPTION
UI_UTIL_read_pw_string() asks for a
passphrase, using prompt as a prompt, and
stores it in buf. The maximum allowed size is
given with length, including the terminating
NUL byte. If verify is non-zero, the password
will be verified as well.
UI_UTIL_read_pw() does the same as
UI_UTIL_read_pw_string(), but takes an
external buffer buff for the verification
passphrase.
RETURN VALUES
UI_UTIL_read_pw_string() and
UI_UTIL_read_pw() return 0 on success or a
negative value on error.
