+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+UI stands for User Interface, and is general purpose set of routines to
+prompt the user for text-based information. Through user-written methods
+(see \fBUI_create_method\fR\|(3)), prompting can be done in any way
+imaginable, be it plain text prompting, through dialog boxes or from a
+cell phone.
+.PP
+All the functions work through a context of the type UI. This context
+contains all the information needed to prompt correctly as well as a
+reference to a UI_METHOD, which is an ordered vector of functions that
+carry out the actual prompting.
+.PP
+The first thing to do is to create a UI with \fBUI_new()\fR or \fBUI_new_method()\fR,
+then add information to it with the UI_add or UI_dup functions. Also,
+user-defined random data can be passed down to the underlying method
+through calls to \fBUI_add_user_data()\fR or \fBUI_dup_user_data()\fR. The default
+UI method doesn't care about these data, but other methods might. Finally,
+use \fBUI_process()\fR to actually perform the prompting and \fBUI_get0_result()\fR
+and \fBUI_get_result_length()\fR to find the result to the prompt and its length.
+.PP
+A UI can contain more than one prompt, which are performed in the given
+sequence. Each prompt gets an index number which is returned by the
+UI_add and UI_dup functions, and has to be used to get the corresponding
+result with \fBUI_get0_result()\fR and \fBUI_get_result_length()\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBUI_process()\fR can be called more than once on the same UI, thereby allowing
+a UI to have a long lifetime, but can just as well have a short lifetime.
+.PP
+The functions are as follows:
+.PP
+\&\fBUI_new()\fR creates a new UI using the default UI method. When done with
+this UI, it should be freed using \fBUI_free()\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBUI_new_method()\fR creates a new UI using the given UI method. When done with
+this UI, it should be freed using \fBUI_free()\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBUI_OpenSSL()\fR returns the built-in UI method (note: not necessarily the
+default one, since the default can be changed. See further on). This
+method is the most machine/OS dependent part of OpenSSL and normally
+generates the most problems when porting.
+.PP
+\&\fBUI_null()\fR returns a UI method that does nothing. Its use is to avoid
+getting internal defaults for passed UI_METHOD pointers.
+.PP
+\&\fBUI_free()\fR removes a UI from memory, along with all other pieces of memory
+that's connected to it, like duplicated input strings, results and others.
+If \fBui\fR is NULL nothing is done.
+.PP
+\&\fBUI_add_input_string()\fR and \fBUI_add_verify_string()\fR add a prompt to the UI,
+as well as flags and a result buffer and the desired minimum and maximum
+sizes of the result, not counting the final NUL character. The given
+information is used to prompt for information, for example a password,
+and to verify a password (i.e. having the user enter it twice and check
+that the same string was entered twice). \fBUI_add_verify_string()\fR takes
+and extra argument that should be a pointer to the result buffer of the
+input string that it's supposed to verify, or verification will fail.
+.PP
+\&\fBUI_add_input_boolean()\fR adds a prompt to the UI that's supposed to be answered
+in a boolean way, with a single character for yes and a different character
+for no. A set of characters that can be used to cancel the prompt is given
+as well. The prompt itself is divided in two, one part being the
+descriptive text (given through the \fIprompt\fR argument) and one describing
+the possible answers (given through the \fIaction_desc\fR argument).
+.PP
+\&\fBUI_add_info_string()\fR and \fBUI_add_error_string()\fR add strings that are shown at
+the same time as the prompt for extra information or to show an error string.
+The difference between the two is only conceptual. With the built-in method,
+there's no technical difference between them. Other methods may make a
+difference between them, however.
+.PP
+The flags currently supported are \fBUI_INPUT_FLAG_ECHO\fR, which is relevant for
+\&\fBUI_add_input_string()\fR and will have the users response be echoed (when
+prompting for a password, this flag should obviously not be used, and
+\&\fBUI_INPUT_FLAG_DEFAULT_PWD\fR, which means that a default password of some
+sort will be used (completely depending on the application and the UI
+method).
+.PP
+\&\fBUI_dup_input_string()\fR, \fBUI_dup_verify_string()\fR, \fBUI_dup_input_boolean()\fR,
+\&\fBUI_dup_info_string()\fR and \fBUI_dup_error_string()\fR are basically the same
+as their UI_add counterparts, except that they make their own copies
+of all strings.
+.PP
+\&\fBUI_construct_prompt()\fR is a helper function that can be used to create
+a prompt from two pieces of information: a phrase description \fIphrase_desc\fR
+and an object name \fIobject_name\fR, where the latter may be NULL.
+The default constructor (if there is none provided by the method used)
+creates a string "Enter \fIphrase_desc\fR for \fIobject_name\fR:"
+where the " for \fIobject_name\fR" part is left out if \fIobject_name\fR is NULL.
+With the description "pass phrase" and the filename "foo.key", that becomes
+"Enter pass phrase for foo.key:". Other methods may create whatever
+string and may include encodings that will be processed by the other
+method functions.
+.PP
+\&\fBUI_add_user_data()\fR adds a user data pointer for the method to use at any
+time. The built-in UI method doesn't care about this info. Note that several
+calls to this function doesn't add data, it replaces the previous blob
+with the one given as argument.
+.PP
+\&\fBUI_dup_user_data()\fR duplicates the user data and works as an alternative
+to \fBUI_add_user_data()\fR when the user data needs to be preserved for a longer
+duration, perhaps even the lifetime of the application. The UI object takes
+ownership of this duplicate and will free it whenever it gets replaced or
+the UI is destroyed. \fBUI_dup_user_data()\fR returns 0 on success, or \-1 on memory
+allocation failure or if the method doesn't have a duplicator function.
+.PP
+\&\fBUI_get0_user_data()\fR retrieves the data that has last been given to the
+UI with \fBUI_add_user_data()\fR or UI_dup_user_data.
+.PP
+\&\fBUI_get0_result()\fR returns a pointer to the result buffer associated with
+the information indexed by \fIi\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBUI_get_result_length()\fR returns the length of the result buffer associated with
+the information indexed by \fIi\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBUI_process()\fR goes through the information given so far, does all the printing
+and prompting and returns the final status, which is \-2 on out-of-band events
+(Interrupt, Cancel, ...), \-1 on error and 0 on success.
+.PP
+\&\fBUI_ctrl()\fR adds extra control for the application author. For now, it
+understands two commands: \fBUI_CTRL_PRINT_ERRORS\fR, which makes \fBUI_process()\fR
+print the OpenSSL error stack as part of processing the UI, and
+\&\fBUI_CTRL_IS_REDOABLE\fR, which returns a flag saying if the used UI can
+be used again or not.
+.PP
+\&\fBUI_set_default_method()\fR changes the default UI method to the one given.
+This function is not thread-safe and should not be called at the same time
+as other OpenSSL functions.
+.PP
+\&\fBUI_get_default_method()\fR returns a pointer to the current default UI method.
+.PP
+\&\fBUI_get_method()\fR returns the UI method associated with a given UI.
+.PP
+\&\fBUI_set_method()\fR changes the UI method associated with a given UI.
+.SH NOTES
+.IX Header "NOTES"
+The resulting strings that the built in method \fBUI_OpenSSL()\fR generate
+are assumed to be encoded according to the current locale or (for
+Windows) code page.
+For applications having different demands, these strings need to be
+converted appropriately by the caller.
+For Windows, if the \fBOPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8\fR environment variable is set,
+the built-in method \fBUI_OpenSSL()\fR will produce UTF\-8 encoded strings
+instead.
