NAME
Xau library: XauFileName, XauReadAuth, XauLockAuth, XauUnlockAuth, XauWriteAuth, XauDis-
poseAuth, XauGetAuthByAddr, XauGetBestAuthByAddr - X authority database routines
SYNOPSIS
#include <X11/Xauth.h>
typedef struct xauth {
unsigned short family;
unsigned short address_length;
char *address;
unsigned short number_length;
char *number;
unsigned short name_length;
char *name;
unsigned short data_length;
char *data;
} Xauth;
char *XauFileName (void);
Xauth *XauReadAuth (FILE *auth_file);
int XauWriteAuth (FILE *auth_file, Xauth *auth);
Xauth *XauGetAuthByAddr (unsigned short family, unsigned short
address_length, const char *address, unsigned short
number_length, const char *number, unsigned short
name_length, const char *name);
Xauth *XauGetBestAuthByAddr (unsigned short family, unsigned short
address_length, const char *address, unsigned short
number_length, const char *number, int types_length,
char **types, const int *type_lengths);
int XauLockAuth (const char *file_name, int retries, int
timeout, long dead);
int XauUnlockAuth (const char *file_name);
int XauDisposeAuth (Xauth *auth);
DESCRIPTION
XauFileName generates the default authorization file name by first checking the XAUTHORITY
environment variable if set, else it returns $HOME/.Xauthority. This name is statically
allocated and should not be freed.
XauReadAuth reads the next entry from auth_file. The entry is not statically allocated
and should be freed by calling XauDisposeAuth.
XauWriteAuth writes an authorization entry to auth_file. It returns 1 on success, 0 on
failure.
XauGetAuthByAddr searches for an entry which matches the given network address/display
number pair. The entry is not statically allocated and should be freed by calling XauDis-
poseAuth.
XauGetBestAuthByAddr is similar to XauGetAuthByAddr, except that a list of acceptable
authentication methods is specified. Xau will choose the file entry which matches the
earliest entry in this list (e.g., the most secure authentication method). The types
argument is an array of strings, one string for each authentication method. types_length
specifies how many elements are in the types array. types_lengths is an array of integers
representing the length of each string.
XauLockAuth does the work necessary to synchronously update an authorization file. First
it makes two file names, one with ``-c'' appended to file_name, the other with ``-l''
appended. If the ``-c'' file already exists and is more than dead seconds old, XauLock-
Auth removes it and the associated ``-l'' file. To prevent possible synchronization trou-
bles with NFS, a dead value of zero forces the files to be removed. XauLockAuth makes
retries attempts to create and link the file names, pausing timeout seconds between each
attempt. XauLockAuth returns a collection of values depending on the results:
LOCK_ERROR
A system error occurred, either a file_name which is too long, or an unexpected
failure from a system call. errno may prove useful.
LOCK_TIMEOUT
retries attempts failed
LOCK_SUCCESS
The lock succeeded.
XauUnlockAuth undoes the work of XauLockAuth by unlinking both the ``-c'' and ``-l'' file
names.
XauDisposeAuth frees storage allocated to hold an authorization entry.
