=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
These functions help the application to fetch supported objects (see
|
|
L<OSSL_STORE_INFO(3)/SUPPORTED OBJECTS> for information on which those are)
|
|
from a given URI (see L</SUPPORTED SCHEMES> for more information on
|
|
the supported URI schemes).
|
|
The general method to do so is to "open" the URI using OSSL_STORE_open(),
|
|
read each available and supported object using OSSL_STORE_load() as long as
|
|
OSSL_STORE_eof() hasn't been reached, and finish it off with OSSL_STORE_close().
|
|
|
|
The retrieved information is stored in a B<OSSL_STORE_INFO>, which is further
|
|
described in L<OSSL_STORE_INFO(3)>.
|
|
|
|
=head2 Types
|
|
|
|
B<OSSL_STORE_CTX> is a context variable that holds all the internal
|
|
information for OSSL_STORE_open(), OSSL_STORE_load(), OSSL_STORE_eof() and
|
|
OSSL_STORE_close() to work together.
|
|
|
|
=head2 Functions
|
|
|
|
OSSL_STORE_open() takes a uri or path B<uri>, password UI method
|
|
B<ui_method> with associated data B<ui_data>, and post processing
|
|
callback B<post_process> with associated data B<post_process_data>,
|
|
opens a channel to the data located at that URI and returns a
|
|
B<OSSL_STORE_CTX> with all necessary internal information.
|
|
The given B<ui_method> and B<ui_data_data> will be reused by all
|
|
functions that use B<OSSL_STORE_CTX> when interaction is needed.
|
|
The given B<post_process> and B<post_process_data> will be reused by
|
|
OSSL_STORE_load() to manipulate or drop the value to be returned.
|
|
|
|
OSSL_STORE_ctrl() takes a B<OSSL_STORE_CTX>, and command number B<cmd> and
|
|
more arguments not specified here.
|
|
The available loader specific command numbers and arguments they each
|
|
take depends on the loader that's used and is documented together with
|
|
that loader.
|
|
|
|
There are also global controls available:
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item B<OSSL_STORE_C_USE_SECMEM>
|
|
|
|
Controls if the loader should attempt to use secure memory for any
|
|
allocated B<OSSL_STORE_INFO> and its contents.
|
|
This control expects one argument, a pointer to an B<int> that is expected to
|
|
have the value 1 (yes) or 0 (no).
|
|
Any other value is an error.
|
|
|
|
=back
|
|
|
|
OSSL_STORE_load() takes a B<OSSL_STORE_CTX>, tries to load the next available
|
|
object and return it wrapped with B<OSSL_STORE_INFO>.
|
|
|
|
OSSL_STORE_eof() takes a B<OSSL_STORE_CTX> and checks if we've reached the end
|
|
of data.
|
|
|
|
OSSL_STORE_error() takes a B<OSSL_STORE_CTX> and checks if an error occured in
|
|
the last OSSL_STORE_load() call.
|
|
Note that it may still be meaningful to try and load more objects, unless
|
|
OSSL_STORE_eof() shows that the end of data has been reached.
|
|
|
|
OSSL_STORE_close() takes a B<OSSL_STORE_CTX>, closes the channel that was opened
|
|
by OSSL_STORE_open() and frees all other information that was stored in the
|
|
B<OSSL_STORE_CTX>, as well as the B<OSSL_STORE_CTX> itself.
|
|
|
|
=head1 SUPPORTED SCHEMES
|
|
|
|
The basic supported scheme is B<file:>.
|
|
Any other scheme can be added dynamically, using
|
|
OSSL_STORE_register_loader().
|
|
|
|
=head1 NOTES
|
|
|
|
When unsure whether a given string contains a simple file or directory
|
|
reference, or if it's a full blown URI, the question is how to figure
|
|
that out.
|
|
One way is to try OSSL_STORE_open_file() and if that fails, try
|
|
OSSL_STORE_open().
|
|
The other way is the other way around.
|
|
Either way you choose, there are corner cases,
|
|
F<file:/foo/bar/cookie.txt> might very will be a simple file reference
|
|
on a system that supports the notion of volumes.
|
|
|
|
This manual won't tell you which way is better, that's up to each
|
|
application developer to decide on their own.
|
|
However, there are some tools that can be used together with
|
|
OSSL_STORE_open() to determine if any failure is caused by an unparsable
|
|
URI, or if it's a different error (such as memory allocation
|
|
failures); if the URI was parsable but the scheme unregistered, the
|
|
top error will have the reason C<OSSL_STORE_R_UNREGISTERED_SCHEME>.
|
|
If you decide to use OSSL_STORE_open() with OSSL_STORE_open_file() as a
|
|
fallback, those reasons can be good tools to decide if the fallback
|
|
should be taken or not.
|
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
OSSL_STORE_open() returns a pointer to a B<OSSL_STORE_CTX> on success, or
|
|
B<NULL> on failure.
|
|
|
|
OSSL_STORE_load() returns a pointer to a B<OSSL_STORE_INFO> on success, or
|
|
B<NULL> on error or when end of data is reached.
|
|
Use OSSL_STORE_error() and OSSL_STORE_eof() to determine the meaning of a
|
|
returned B<NULL>.
|
|
|
|
OSSL_STORE_eof() returns 1 if the end of data has been reached, otherwise
|
|
0.
|
|
|
|
OSSL_STORE_error() returns 1 if an error occured in a OSSL_STORE_load() call,
|
|
otherwise 0.
|
|
|
|
OSSL_STORE_ctrl() and OSSL_STORE_close() returns 1 on success, or 0 on failure.
