GckAttribute

GckAttribute — A PKCS11 attribute.

Types and Values

struct GckAttribute

Description

This structure represents a PKCS11 CK_ATTRIBUTE. These attributes contain i about a PKCS11 object. Use gck_object_get() or gck_object_set() to set and attributes on an object.

Although you are free to allocate a GckAttribute in your own code, no functions in this library will operate on such an attribute.

Functions

gck_attribute_is_invalid ()

gboolean
gck_attribute_is_invalid (const GckAttribute *attr);

Check if the PKCS#11 attribute represents 'invalid' or 'not found' according to the PKCS#11 spec. That is, having length of (CK_ULONG)-1.

Parameters

attr

The attribute to check.

 

Returns

Whether the attribute represents invalid or not.


gck_attribute_get_boolean ()

gboolean
gck_attribute_get_boolean (const GckAttribute *attr);

Get the CK_BBOOL of a PKCS#11 attribute. No conversion is performed. It is an error to pass an attribute to this function unless you're know it's supposed to contain a boolean value.

Parameters

attr

The attribute to retrieve value from.

 

Returns

The boolean value of the attribute.


gck_attribute_get_ulong ()

gulong
gck_attribute_get_ulong (const GckAttribute *attr);

Get the CK_ULONG value of a PKCS#11 attribute. No conversion is performed. It is an error to pass an attribute to this function unless you're know it's supposed to contain a value of the right type.

Parameters

attr

The attribute to retrieve value from.

 

Returns

The ulong value of the attribute.


gck_attribute_get_string ()

gchar *
gck_attribute_get_string (const GckAttribute *attr);

Get the string value of a PKCS#11 attribute. No conversion is performed. It is an error to pass an attribute to this function unless you're know it's supposed to contain a value of the right type.

Parameters

attr

The attribute to retrieve value from.

 

Returns

a null terminated string, to be freed with g_free(), or NULL if the value was invalid.

[allow-none]


gck_attribute_get_date ()

void
gck_attribute_get_date (const GckAttribute *attr,
                        GDate *value);

Get the CK_DATE of a PKCS#11 attribute. No conversion is performed. It is an error to pass an attribute to this function unless you're know it's supposed to contain a value of the right type.

Parameters

attr

The attribute to retrieve value from.

 

value

The date value to fill in with the parsed date.

 

gck_attribute_get_data ()

const guchar *
gck_attribute_get_data (const GckAttribute *attr,
                        gsize *length);

Get the raw value in the attribute.

This is useful from scripting languages. C callers will generally access the GckAttribute struct directly.

This function will NULL if the attribute contains empty or invalid data. The returned data must not be modified and is only valid as long as this attribute .

Parameters

attr

an attribute

 

length

the length of the returned data

 

Returns

the value data or NULL.
