The general method to do so is to "open" the URI using OSSL_STORE_open(), read each available and supported object using OSSL_STORE_load() as long as OSSL_STORE_eof() hasn't been reached, and finish it off with OSSL_STORE_close().</p> <p>The retrieved information is stored in a <b>OSSL_STORE_INFO</b>, which is further described in <a href="../man3/OSSL_STORE_INFO.html">OSSL_STORE_INFO(3)</a>.</p> <h2 id="Types">Types</h2> <p><b>OSSL_STORE_CTX</b> is a context variable that holds all the internal information for OSSL_STORE_open(), OSSL_STORE_load(), OSSL_STORE_eof() and OSSL_STORE_close() to work together.</p> <h2 id="Functions">Functions</h2> <p>OSSL_STORE_open() takes a uri or path <i>uri</i>, password UI method <i>ui_method</i> with associated data <i>ui_data</i>, and post processing callback <i>post_process</i> with associated data <i>post_process_data</i>, opens a channel to the data located at that URI and returns a <b>OSSL_STORE_CTX</b> with all necessary internal information. The given <i>ui_method</i> and <i>ui_data</i> will be reused by all functions that use <b>OSSL_STORE_CTX</b> when interaction is needed, for instance to provide a password. The given <i>post_process</i> and <i>post_process_data</i> will be reused by OSSL_STORE_load() to manipulate or drop the value to be returned. The <i>post_process</i> function drops values by returning NULL, which will cause OSSL_STORE_load() to start its process over with loading the next object, until <i>post_process</i> returns something other than NULL, or the end of data is reached as indicated by OSSL_STORE_eof().</p> <p>OSSL_STORE_ctrl() takes a <b>OSSL_STORE_CTX</b>, and command number <i>cmd</i> and more arguments not specified here. The available loader specific command numbers and arguments they each take depends on the loader that's used and is documented together with that loader.</p> <p>There are also global controls available:</p> <dl> <dt id="OSSL_STORE_C_USE_SECMEM"><b>OSSL_STORE_C_USE_SECMEM</b></dt> <dd> <p>Controls if the loader should attempt to use secure memory for any allocated <b>OSSL_STORE_INFO</b> and its contents. This control expects one argument, a pointer to an <b>int</b> that is expected to have the value 1 (yes) or 0 (no). Any other value is an error.</p> </dd> </dl> <p>OSSL_STORE_load() takes a <b>OSSL_STORE_CTX</b>, tries to load the next available object and return it wrapped with <b>OSSL_STORE_INFO</b>.</p> <p>OSSL_STORE_eof() takes a <b>OSSL_STORE_CTX</b> and checks if we've reached the end of data.</p> <p>OSSL_STORE_error() takes a <b>OSSL_STORE_CTX</b> and checks if an error occurred in the last OSSL_STORE_load() call. Note that it may still be meaningful to try and load more objects, unless OSSL_STORE_eof() shows that the end of data has been reached.</p> <p>OSSL_STORE_close() takes a <b>OSSL_STORE_CTX</b>, closes the channel that was opened by OSSL_STORE_open() and frees all other information that was stored in the <b>OSSL_STORE_CTX</b>, as well as the <b>OSSL_STORE_CTX</b> itself. If <i>ctx</i> is NULL it does nothing.</p> <h1 id="SUPPORTED-SCHEMES">SUPPORTED SCHEMES</h1> <p>The basic supported scheme is <b>file:</b>. Any other scheme can be added dynamically, using OSSL_STORE_register_loader().</p> <h1 id="NOTES">NOTES</h1> <p>A string without a scheme prefix (that is, a non-URI string) is implicitly interpreted as using the <i>file:</i> scheme.</p> <p>There are some tools that can be used together with OSSL_STORE_open() to determine if any failure is caused by an unparsable URI, or if it's a different error (such as memory allocation failures); if the URI was parsable but the scheme unregistered, the top error will have the reason <code>OSSL_STORE_R_UNREGISTERED_SCHEME</code>.</p> <p>These functions make no direct assumption regarding the pass phrase received from the password callback. The loaders may make assumptions, however. For example, the <b>file:</b> scheme loader inherits the assumptions made by OpenSSL functionality that handles the different file types; this is mostly relevant for PKCS#12 objects. See <a href="../man7/passphrase-encoding.html">passphrase-encoding(7)</a> for further information.</p> <h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1> <p>OSSL_STORE_open() returns a pointer to a <b>OSSL_STORE_CTX</b> on success, or NULL on failure.</p> <p>OSSL_STORE_load() returns a pointer to a <b>OSSL_STORE_INFO</b> on success, or NULL on error or when end of data is reached. Use OSSL_STORE_error() and OSSL_STORE_eof() to determine the meaning of a returned NULL.</p> <p>OSSL_STORE_eof() returns 1 if the end of data has been reached, otherwise 0.</p> <p>OSSL_STORE_error() returns 1 if an error occurred in an OSSL_STORE_load() call, otherwise 0.</p> <p>OSSL_STORE_ctrl() and OSSL_STORE_close() returns 1 on success, or 0 on failure.</p> <h1 id="SEE-ALSO">SEE ALSO</h1> <p><a href="../man7/ossl_store.html">ossl_store(7)</a>, <a href="../man3/OSSL_STORE_INFO.html">OSSL_STORE_INFO(3)</a>, <a href="../man3/OSSL_STORE_register_loader.html">OSSL_STORE_register_loader(3)</a>, <a href="../man7/passphrase-encoding.html">passphrase-encoding(7)</a></p> <h1 id="HISTORY">HISTORY</h1> <p>OSSL_STORE_CTX(), OSSL_STORE_post_process_info_fn(), OSSL_STORE_open(), OSSL_STORE_ctrl(), OSSL_STORE_load(), OSSL_STORE_eof() and OSSL_STORE_close() were added in OpenSSL 1.1.1.</p> <p>Handling of NULL <i>ctx</i> argument for OSSL_STORE_close() was introduced in OpenSSL 1.1.1h.</p> <h1 id="COPYRIGHT">COPYRIGHT</h1> <p>Copyright 2016-2020 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
