<refsect2> <title>Introduction</title> <para>The <function>pws3_*()</function> family of functions allows creating, reading, writing, and manipulating Password Safe version 3 files. Password Safe version 3 files consist of a header and a body part. The header is comprised of both mandatory and optional typed header fields which hold file-wide metadata. The body consists of records which in turn hold passwords and associated metadata in typed record fields.</para> <para>A header or record field value can be of one of seven basic data types defined below: <table xml:id="table-data-types"> <title>Header and Record Field Value Data Types</title> <tgroup cols="3" align="left" colsep="1" rowsep="1"> <thead> <row> <entry>Data Type</entry> <entry>C Type</entry> <entry>Description</entry> </row> </thead> <tbody> <row> <entry><constant>PWS_DATA_TYPE_UUID</constant></entry> <entry><code>unsigned char [PWS3_UUID_SIZE]</code></entry> <entry>UUID</entry> </row> <row> <entry><constant>PWS_DATA_TYPE_TEXT</constant></entry> <entry><code>char *</code></entry> <entry>NUL-delimited UTF-8 encoded string</entry> </row> <row> <entry><constant>PWS_DATA_TYPE_TIME</constant></entry> <entry><code>time_t</code></entry> <entry>system-specific representation of time</entry> </row> <row> <entry><constant>PWS_DATA_TYPE_UINT8</constant></entry> <entry><code>uint8_t</code></entry> <entry>8-bit wide unsigned integer</entry> </row> <row> <entry><constant>PWS_DATA_TYPE_UINT16</constant></entry> <entry><code>uint16_t</code></entry> <entry>16-bit wide unsigned integer</entry> </row> <row> <entry><constant>PWS_DATA_TYPE_UINT32</constant></entry> <entry><code>uint32_t</code></entry> <entry>32-bit wide unsigned integer</entry> </row> <row> <entry><constant>PWS_DATA_TYPE_BYTES</constant></entry> <entry><code>unsigned char *</code></entry> <entry>array of bytes</entry> </row> </tbody> </tgroup> </table> </para> <para>The data type of each header field is defined in <xref linkend="table-header-fields"/> and the data type of each record field is defined in <xref linkend="table-record-fields"/>. Each header field, with the exception of the empty groups header field, can only occur once. The version header field (<constant>PWS3_HEADER_FIELD_VERSION</constant>) is mandatory and must not be removed. When reading a file its value is checked and an error is returned if the file format version newer than the one supported by <citerefentry><refentrytitle>libpws</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. The supported version is defined by the <constant>PWS3_VERSION</constant> macro, when creating a new file structure the version header field will be set to its value by default. Non-standard header and record fields will be preserved when a file is read and subsequently written again, they may be read and manipulated as if they had <constant>PWS_DATA_TYPE_BYTES</constant> data type. All strings are expected to be in UTF-8 encoding.</para> <para>The only mandatory record field is the UUID field which uniquely identifies a record in the file.</para> <para>The complete and authoritative specification of the file format is included with the original Password Safe application available from <link xlink:href="https://pwsafe.org/"/>.</para> </refsect2> <refsect2> <title>Password Safe File Data Structure</title> <para>The <function>pws3_file_create()</function> function allocates and intializes a Password Safe file data structure representing a Password Safe version 3 file. It automatically creates the mandatory version header field and initializes it to the value of the <constant>PWS3_VERSION</constant> macro.</para> <para>The <function>pws3_file_destroy()</function> function deallocates all header fields and records of the file structure passed to it and then deallocates the file structure itself.</para> <para>The <function>pws3_file_read_mem()</function> and <function>pws3_file_read_stream()</function> functions read and parse a Password Safe file into the given data structure passed via the <parameter>pws_file</parameter> argument, replacing any existing header fields and records. The key used to decrypt the file is derived from the given <parameter>password</parameter> parameter. The <function>pws3_file_read_mem()</function> function reads the file from a block of memory <parameter>s</parameter> with the size of <parameter>n</parameter> bytes. The <function>pws3_file_read_stream()</function> reads the file from the stream of the <parameter>fp</parameter> file pointer.</para> <para>The <function>pws3_file_write_mem()</function> and <function>pws3_file_write_stream()</function> functions write a new Password Safe file from the given datat structure. The key used to encrypt the file is derived from the <parameter>password</parameter> argument using the number of iterations to stretch the key determined by the <parameter>n_iter</parameter> argument. The <function>pws3_file_write_mem()</function> will allocate and place the file contents into memory and return the location and size to the locations <parameter>sp</parameter> and <parameter>np</parameter> point to. The <function>pws3_file_write_stream()</function> will write the file contents to the stream of the <parameter>fp</parameter> file pointer.</para> </refsect2> <refsect2> <title>Fields</title> <para>Both header and record fields are stored in <varname>pws3_field</varname> structures which are allocated and initialized with the <function>pws3_field_create()</function> function. Depending on whether <parameter>is_header</parameter> is non-zero either a header field or a record field data structure of the given field type will be created.</para> <para>The <function>pws3_field_destroy()</function> function deallocates the given field data structure and its content.</para> <para>The <function>pws3_field_is_header()</function> function can be used to test whether the given field data structure refers to a header field or a record field.</para> <para>The <function>pws3_field_get_type()</function> function returns the field type of the given field data structure.</para> <para>The <function>pws3_field_get_data_type()</function> function returns the data type of the given field structure.</para> <para>The <function>pws3_field_set_uuid()</function>, <function>pws3_field_set_text()</function>, <function>pws3_field_set_time()</function>, <function>pws3_field_set_uint8()</function>, <function>pws3_field_set_uint16()</function>, <function>pws3_field_set_uint32()</function>, and <function>pws3_field_set_bytes()</function> functions set the content of the given field. The given data is always copied and existing content is replaced. The data type used by the function must match the data type of the field specified in <xref linkend="table-header-fields"/> in case of header fields or that in <xref linkend="table-record-fields"/> in case of record fields.</para> <para>The <function>pws3_field_get_time()</function>, <function>pws3_field_get_uint8()</function>, <function>pws3_field_get_uint16()</function>, and <function>pws3_field_get_uint32()</function> functions return the value of the given field. The <function>pws3_field_get_uuid()</function>, <function>pws3_field_get_text()</function>, and <function>pws3_field_get_bytes()</function> functions return a pointer to the data of the given field if it has been set. The data type used by the function must match the data type of the field specified in <xref linkend="table-header-fields"/> in case of header fields and that in <xref linkend="table-record-fields"/> in case of record fields. Returned pointers are only valid until a field is modified or deallocated.</para> </refsect2> <refsect2> <title>Header Fields</title> <para>Header fields are used to store metadata for the whole file, each type of header field with the exception of the empty groups header field only occurs once.
