Description

Holds a password used in TLS.

Functions

g_tls_password_new ()

GTlsPassword *
g_tls_password_new (GTlsPasswordFlags flags,
                    const gchar *description);

Create a new GTlsPassword object.

Parameters

flags

the password flags

 

description

description of what the password is for

 

Returns

The newly allocated password object.

[transfer full]


g_tls_password_get_value ()

const guchar *
g_tls_password_get_value (GTlsPassword *password,
                          gsize *length);

Get the password value. If length is not NULL then it will be filled in with the length of the password value. (Note that the password value is not nul-terminated, so you can only pass NULL for length in contexts where you know the password will have a certain fixed length.)

Parameters

password

a GTlsPassword object

 

length

location to place the length of the password.

[allow-none]

Returns

The password value (owned by the password object).

Since: 2.30


g_tls_password_set_value ()

void
g_tls_password_set_value (GTlsPassword *password,
                          const guchar *value,
                          gssize length);

Set the value for this password. The value will be copied by the password object.

Specify the length , for a non-nul-terminated password. Pass -1 as length if using a nul-terminated password, and length will be calculated automatically. (Note that the terminating nul is not considered part of the password in this case.)

Parameters

password

a GTlsPassword object

 

value

the new password value

 

length

the length of the password, or -1

 

Since: 2.30


g_tls_password_set_value_full ()

void
g_tls_password_set_value_full (GTlsPassword *password,
                               guchar *value,
                               gssize length,
                               GDestroyNotify destroy);

Provide the value for this password.

The value will be owned by the password object, and later freed using the destroy function callback.

Specify the length , for a non-nul-terminated password. Pass -1 as length if using a nul-terminated password, and length will be calculated automatically. (Note that the terminating nul is not considered part of the password in this case.)

Virtual: set_value

Parameters

length

the length of the password, or -1

 

destroy

a function to use to free the password.

The description of the password.

Since: 2.30


g_tls_password_set_description ()

void
g_tls_password_set_description (GTlsPassword *password,
                                const gchar *description);

Set a description string about what the password will be used for.

password

a GTlsPassword object

 

description

The description of the password

 

Since: 2.30


g_tls_password_get_flags ()

GTlsPasswordFlags
g_tls_password_get_flags (GTlsPassword *password);

Get flags about the password.

Parameters

password

a GTlsPassword object

 

Returns

The flags about the password.
