=head1 NAME

UI_UTIL_read_pw_string, UI_UTIL_read_pw,
UI_UTIL_wrap_read_pem_callback - user interface utilities

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/ui.h>

 int UI_UTIL_read_pw_string(char *buf, int length, const char *prompt,
                            int verify);
 int UI_UTIL_read_pw(char *buf, char *buff, int size, const char *prompt,
                     int verify);
 UI_METHOD *UI_UTIL_wrap_read_pem_callback(pem_password_cb *cb, int rwflag);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

UI_UTIL_read_pw_string() asks for a passphrase, using B<prompt> as a
prompt, and stores it in B<buf>.
The maximum allowed size is given with B<length>, including the
terminating NUL byte.
If B<verify> is non-zero, the password will be verified as well.

UI_UTIL_read_pw() does the same as UI_UTIL_read_pw_string(), the
difference is that you can give it an external buffer B<buff> for the
verification passphrase.

UI_UTIL_wrap_read_pem_callback() can be used to create a temporary
B<UI_METHOD> that wraps a given PEM password callback B<cb>.
B<rwflag> 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
UI_destroy_method().
