80.Sh DESCRIPTION
81The
82.Fn fido_dev_set_io_functions
83function sets the I/O handlers used by
84.Em libfido2
85to talk to
86.Fa dev .
87By default, these handlers are set to the operating system's native HID or NFC
88interfaces.
89They are defined as follows:
90.Bl -tag -width Ds
91.It Vt fido_dev_open_t
92Receives a
93.Vt const char *
94holding a path and opens the corresponding device, returning a
95non-NULL opaque pointer on success and NULL on error.
96.It Vt fido_dev_close_t
97Receives the opaque pointer returned by
98.Vt fido_dev_open_t
99and closes the device.
100.It Vt fido_dev_read_t
101Reads a single transmission unit (HID report, APDU) from a device.
102The first parameter is the opaque pointer returned by
103.Vt fido_dev_open_t .
104The second parameter is the read buffer, and the third parameter
105is the read buffer size.
106The fourth parameter is the number of milliseconds the caller is
107willing to sleep, should the call need to block.
108If this value holds -1,
109.Vt fido_dev_read_t
110may block indefinitely.
111On success, the number of bytes read is returned.
112On error, -1 is returned.
113.It Vt fido_dev_write_t
114Writes a single transmission unit (HID report, APDU) to
115.Fa dev .
116The first parameter is the opaque pointer returned by
117.Vt fido_dev_open_t .
118The second parameter is the write buffer, and the third parameter
119is the number of bytes to be written.
120A
121.Vt fido_dev_write_t
122may block.
123On success, the number of bytes written is returned.
124On error, -1 is returned.
125.El
126.Pp
127When calling
128.Fn fido_dev_set_io_functions ,
129the
130.Fa open ,
131.Fa close ,
132.Fa read ,
133and
134.Fa write
135fields of
136.Fa io
137may not be NULL.
138.Pp
139No references to
140.Fa io
141are held by
142.Fn fido_dev_set_io_functions .
143.Pp
144The
145.Fn fido_dev_set_sigmask
146function may be used to specify a non-NULL signal mask
147.Fa sigmask
148to be used while
149.Em libfido2's
150default I/O handlers wait on
151.Fa dev .
152On UNIX-like operating systems,
153.Vt fido_sigset_t
154is defined as
155.Vt sigset_t .
156On Windows,
157.Vt fido_sigset_t
158is defined as
159.Vt int
160and
161.Fn fido_dev_set_sigmask
162is a no-op.
163.Pp
164No references to
165.Fa sigmask
166are held by
167.Fn fido_dev_set_sigmask .
168.Pp
169The
170.Fn fido_dev_set_timeout
171function informs
172.Em libfido2
173not to block for more than
174.Fa ms
175milliseconds while communicating with
176.Fa dev .
177If a timeout occurs, the corresponding
178.Em fido_dev_*
179function will fail with
180.Dv FIDO_ERR_RX .
181If
182.Fa ms
183is -1,
184then
185.Em libfido2
186may block indefinitely.
187This is the default behaviour.
188When using the Windows Hello backend,
189.Fa ms
190is used as a guidance and may be overwritten by the platform.
191.Pp
192The
193.Fn fido_dev_set_transport_functions
194function sets the transport functions used by
195.Em libfido2
196to talk to
197.Fa dev .
198While the I/O handlers are responsible for sending and receiving
199transmission units of initialization and continuation packets already
200formatted by
201.Em libfido2 ,
202the transport handlers are responsible for sending and receiving
203the CTAPHID commands and data directly, as defined in the FIDO Client
204to Authenticator Protocol (CTAP) standard.
205They are defined as follows:
206.Bl -tag -width Ds
207.It Vt fido_dev_tx_t
208Receives a device, a CTAPHID command to transmit, a data buffer to
209transmit, and the length of the data buffer.
210On success, 0 is returned.
211On error, -1 is returned.
212.It Vt fido_dev_rx_t
213Receives a device, a CTAPHID command whose response the caller expects
214to receive, a data buffer to receive into, the size of the data buffer
215determining the maximum length of a response, and the maximum number of
216milliseconds to wait for a response.
217On success, the number of bytes read into the data buffer is returned.
218On error, -1 is returned.
219.El
220.Pp
221When transport functions are specified,
222.Em libfido2
223will use them instead of the
224.Dv read
225and
226.Dv write
227functions of the I/O handlers.
228However, the I/O handlers must still be specified to open and close the
229device.
230.Pp
231The
232.Fn fido_dev_io_handle
233function returns the opaque pointer returned by the
234.Dv open
235function of the I/O handlers.
236This is useful mainly for the transport functions, which unlike the I/O
237handlers are passed the
238.Vt fido_dev_t
239pointer instead of the opaque I/O handle.
240.Sh RETURN VALUES
241On success,
242.Fn fido_dev_set_io_functions ,
243.Fn fido_dev_set_transport_functions ,
244.Fn fido_dev_set_sigmask ,
245and
246.Fn fido_dev_set_timeout
247return
248.Dv FIDO_OK .
249On error, a different error code defined in
250.In fido/err.h
251is returned.
