des_read_password, des_read_2passwords, des_read_pw_string, des_read_pw -

Compatibility user interface functions

=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
int des_read_password(DES_cblock *key,const char *prompt,int verify);
|
|
int des_read_2passwords(DES_cblock *key1,DES_cblock *key2,
|
|
const char *prompt,int verify);
|
|
|
|
int des_read_pw_string(char *buf,int length,const char *prompt,int verify);
|
|
int des_read_pw(char *buf,char *buff,int size,const char *prompt,int verify);
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The DES library contained a few routines to prompt for passwords. These
|
|
aren't necessarely dependent on DES, and have therefore become part of the
|
|
UI compatibility library.
|
|
|
|
des_read_pw() writes the string specified by I<prompt> to standard output
|
|
turns echo off and reads an input string from the terminal. The string is
|
|
returned in I<buf>, which must have spac for at least I<size> bytes.
|
|
If I<verify> is set, the user is asked for the password twice and unless
|
|
the two copies match, an error is returned. The second password is stored
|
|
in I<buff>, which must therefore also be at least I<size> bytes. A return
|
|
code of -1 indicates a system error, 1 failure due to use interaction, and
|
|
0 is success. All other functions described here use des_read_pw() to do
|
|
the work.
|
|
|
|
des_read_pw_string() is a variant of des_read_pw() that provides a buffer
|
|
for you if I<verify> is set.
|
|
|
|
des_read_password() calls des_read_pw() and converts the password to a
|
|
DES key by calling DES_string_to_key(); des_read_2password() operates in
|
|
the same way as des_read_password() except that it generates two keys
|
|
by using the DES_string_to_2key() function.
|
|
|
|
=head1 NOTES
|
|
|
|
des_read_pw_string() is available in the MIT Kerberos library as well, and
|
|
is also available under the name EVP_read_pw_string().
