DESCRIPTION
A collection of utility functions that simplify and add type safety to
the OSSL_PARAM(3) arrays. The following TTYYPPEE names are supported:
o
double
o
int
o
int32 (int32_t)
o
int64 (int64_t)
o
long int (long)
o
time_t
o
uint64 (uint64_t)
o
unsigned int (uint)
o
unsigned long int (ulong)
OSSL_PARAM_TYPE() are a series of macros designed to assist
initialising an array of OSSL_PARAM(3) structures. Each of these
macros defines a parameter of the specified TTYYPPEE with the provided key
and parameter variable address.
OSSL_PARAM_utf8_string(), OSSL_PARAM_octet_string(),
OSSL_PARAM_utf8_ptr(), OSSL_PARAM_octet_ptr(), OSSL_PARAM_BN() are
macros that provide support for defining UTF8 strings, OCTET strings
and big numbers. A parameter with name key is defined. The storage
for this parameter is at address and is of size bytes.
OSSL_PARAM_END provides an end of parameter list marker. This should
terminate all OSSL_PARAM(3) arrays.
The OSSL_PARAM_DEFN() macro provides the ability to construct a single
OSSL_PARAM(3) (typically used in the construction of OSSL_PARAM
arrays). The key, type, addr and sz arguments correspond to the key,
data_type, data and data_size fields of the OSSL_PARAM(3) structure as
described on the OSSL_PARAM(3) page.
OSSL_PARAM_construct_TYPE() are a series of functions that create
OSSL_PARAM(3) records dynamically. A parameter with name key is
created. The parameter will use storage pointed to by buf and return
size of ret.
OSSL_PARAM_construct_BN() is a function that constructs a large integer
OSSL_PARAM(3) structure. A parameter with name key, storage buf, size
bsize and return size rsize is created.
OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_string() is a function that constructs a UTF8
string OSSL_PARAM(3) structure. A parameter with name key, storage buf
and size bsize is created. If bsize is zero, the string length is
determined using strlen(3). Generally pass zero for bsize instead of
calling strlen(3) yourself.
OSSL_PARAM_construct_octet_string() is a function that constructs an
OCTET string OSSL_PARAM(3) structure. A parameter with name key,
storage buf and size bsize is created.
OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_ptr() is a function that constructs a UTF8
string pointer OSSL_PARAM(3) structure. A parameter with name key,
storage pointer *buf and size bsize is created.
OSSL_PARAM_construct_octet_ptr() is a function that constructs an OCTET
string pointer OSSL_PARAM(3) structure. A parameter with name key,
storage pointer *buf and size bsize is created.
OSSL_PARAM_construct_end() is a function that constructs the
terminating OSSL_PARAM(3) structure.
OSSL_PARAM_get_TYPE() retrieves a value of type TTYYPPEE from the parameter
p. The value is copied to the address val. Type coercion takes place
as discussed in the NOTES section.
OSSL_PARAM_set_TYPE() stores a value val of type TTYYPPEE into the
parameter p. If the parameter's data field is NULL, then only its
return_size field will be assigned the size the parameter's data buffer
should have. Type coercion takes place as discussed in the NOTES
section.
OSSL_PARAM_get_BN() retrieves a BIGNUM from the parameter pointed to by
p. The BIGNUM referenced by val is updated and is allocated if *val is
NULL.
OSSL_PARAM_set_BN() stores the BIGNUM val into the parameter p. If the
parameter's data field is NULL, then only its return_size field will be
assigned the size the parameter's data buffer should have.
OSSL_PARAM_get_utf8_string() retrieves a UTF8 string from the parameter
pointed to by p. The string is stored into *val with a size limit of
max_len, which must be large enough to accommodate a terminating NUL
byte, otherwise this function will fail. If *val is NULL, memory is
allocated for the string (including the terminating NUL byte) and
max_len is ignored. If memory is allocated by this function, it must
be freed by the caller.
OSSL_PARAM_set_utf8_string() sets a UTF8 string from the parameter
pointed to by p to the value referenced by val. If the parameter's
data field isn't NULL, its data_size must indicate that the buffer is
large enough to accommodate the string that val points at, not
including the terminating NUL byte, or this function will fail. A
terminating NUL byte is added only if the parameter's data_size
indicates the buffer is longer than the string length, otherwise the
string will not be NUL terminated. If the parameter's data field is
NULL, then only its return_size field will be assigned the minimum size
the parameter's data buffer should have to accommodate the string, not
including a terminating NUL byte.
OSSL_PARAM_get_octet_string() retrieves an OCTET string from the
parameter pointed to by p. The OCTETs are either stored into *val with
a length limit of max_len or, in the case when *val is NULL, memory is
allocated and max_len is ignored. *used_len is populated with the
number of OCTETs stored. If val is NULL then the OCTETS are not stored,
but *used_len is still populated. If memory is allocated by this
function, it must be freed by the caller.
OSSL_PARAM_set_octet_string() sets an OCTET string from the parameter
pointed to by p to the value referenced by val. If the parameter's
data field is NULL, then only its return_size field will be assigned
the size the parameter's data buffer should have.
OSSL_PARAM_get_utf8_ptr() retrieves the UTF8 string pointer from the
parameter referenced by p and stores it in *val.
OSSL_PARAM_set_utf8_ptr() sets the UTF8 string pointer in the parameter
referenced by p to the values val.
OSSL_PARAM_get_octet_ptr() retrieves the OCTET string pointer from the
parameter referenced by p and stores it in *val. The length of the
from the parameter pointed to by p, and stores that pointer in *val.
This is different from OSSL_PARAM_get_utf8_string(), which copies the
string.
OSSL_PARAM_get_octet_string_ptr() retrieves the pointer to a octet
string from the parameter pointed to by p, and stores that pointer in
*val, along with the string's length in *used_len. This is different
from OSSL_PARAM_get_octet_string(), which copies the string.
The OSSL_PARAM_UNMODIFIED macro is used to detect if a parameter was
set. On creation, via either the macros or construct calls, the
return_size field is set to this. If the parameter is set using the
calls defined herein, the return_size field is changed.
OSSL_PARAM_modified() queries if the parameter param has been set or
not using the calls defined herein.
OSSL_PARAM_set_all_unmodified() resets the unused indicator for all
parameters in the array params.
RETURN VALUES
OSSL_PARAM_construct_TYPE(), OSSL_PARAM_construct_BN(),
OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_string(),
OSSL_PARAM_construct_octet_string(), OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_ptr()
and OSSL_PARAM_construct_octet_ptr() return a populated OSSL_PARAM(3)
structure.
OSSL_PARAM_locate() and OSSL_PARAM_locate_const() return a pointer to
the matching OSSL_PARAM(3) object. They return NULL on error or when
no object matching key exists in the array.
OSSL_PARAM_modified() returns 1 if the parameter was set and 0
otherwise.
All other functions return 1 on success and 0 on failure.
NOTES
Native types will be converted as required only if the value is exactly
representable by the target type or parameter. Apart from that, the
functions must be used appropriately for the expected type of the
parameter.
OSSL_PARAM_get_BN() and OSSL_PARAM_set_BN() currently only support
nonnegative BIGNUMs, and by consequence, only
OSSL_PARAM_UNSIGNED_INTEGER. OSSL_PARAM_construct_BN() currently
constructs an OSSL_PARAM(3) structure with the data type
OSSL_PARAM_UNSIGNED_INTEGER.
For OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_ptr() and
OSSL_PARAM_consstruct_octet_ptr(), bsize is not relevant if the purpose
is to send the OSSL_PARAM(3) array to a responder, i.e. to get
parameter data back. In that case, bsize can safely be given zero.
See "DESCRIPTION" in OSSL_PARAM(3) for further information on the
possible purposes.
EXAMPLES
Reusing the examples from OSSL_PARAM(3) to just show how OSSL_PARAM(3)
arrays can be handled using the macros and functions defined herein.
const char bar[] = "some other string";
const OSSL_PARAM set[] = {
OSSL_PARAM_utf8_ptr("foo", &foo, foo_l),
OSSL_PARAM_utf8_string("bar", bar, sizeof(bar) - 1),
OSSL_PARAM_END
};
Example 2
This example is for requesting parameters on some object, and also
demonstrates that the requester isn't obligated to request all
available parameters:
const char *foo = NULL;
char bar[1024];
OSSL_PARAM request[] = {
OSSL_PARAM_utf8_ptr("foo", &foo, 0),
OSSL_PARAM_utf8_string("bar", bar, sizeof(bar)),
OSSL_PARAM_END
};
A responder that receives this array (as "params" in this example)
could fill in the parameters like this:
/* OSSL_PARAM *params */
OSSL_PARAM *p;
if ((p = OSSL_PARAM_locate(params, "foo")) != NULL)
OSSL_PARAM_set_utf8_ptr(p, "foo value");
if ((p = OSSL_PARAM_locate(params, "bar")) != NULL)
OSSL_PARAM_set_utf8_string(p, "bar value");
if ((p = OSSL_PARAM_locate(params, "cookie")) != NULL)
OSSL_PARAM_set_utf8_ptr(p, "cookie value");
