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(). - -=head1 SEE ALSO - -L<ui(3)|ui(3)>, L<ui_create(3)|ui_create(3)> - -=head1 AUTHOR - -Richard Levitte (richard@levitte.org) for the OpenSSL project -(http://www.openssl.org). - -=cut |
