\&
\& int UI_UTIL_read_pw_string(char *buf, int length, const char *prompt,
\&                            int verify);

.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBUI_UTIL_read_pw_string()\fR asks for a passphrase, using \fBprompt\fR as a
prompt, and stores it in \fBbuf\fR.
The maximum allowed size is given with \fBlength\fR, including the
terminating NUL byte.
If \fBverify\fR is nonzero, the password will be verified as well.
.PP
\&\fBUI_UTIL_read_pw()\fR does the same as \fBUI_UTIL_read_pw_string()\fR, the
difference is that you can give it an external buffer \fBbuff\fR for the
verification passphrase.
.PP
\&\fBUI_UTIL_wrap_read_pem_callback()\fR can be used to create a temporary
\&\fBUI_METHOD\fR that wraps a given PEM password callback \fBcb\fR.
\&\fBrwflag\fR is used to specify if this method will be used for
passphrase entry without (0) or with (1) verification.
When not used any more, the returned method should be freed with
\&\fBUI_destroy_method()\fR.
.SH NOTES
.IX Header "NOTES"
\&\fBUI_UTIL_read_pw_string()\fR and \fBUI_UTIL_read_pw()\fR use default
\&\fBUI_METHOD\fR.
See \fBUI_get_default_method\fR\|(3) and friends for more information.
.PP
The result from the \fBUI_METHOD\fR created by
\&\fBUI_UTIL_wrap_read_pem_callback()\fR will generate password strings in the
encoding that the given password callback generates.
The default password prompting functions (apart from
\&\fBUI_UTIL_read_pw_string()\fR and \fBUI_UTIL_read_pw()\fR, there is
\&\fBPEM_def_callback()\fR, \fBEVP_read_pw_string()\fR and \fBEVP_read_pw_string_min()\fR)
all use the default \fBUI_METHOD\fR.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBUI_UTIL_read_pw_string()\fR and \fBUI_UTIL_read_pw()\fR return 0 on success or a negative
value on error.
.PP
\&\fBUI_UTIL_wrap_read_pem_callback()\fR returns a valid \fBUI_METHOD\fR structure or NULL
if an error occurred.
