NAME

       oath_totp_validate4 - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <oath.h>

       int  oath_totp_validate4(const  char * secret, size_t secret_length, time_t now, unsigned time_step_size,
       time_t start_offset, size_t window, int * otp_pos, uint64_t * otp_counter, int flags, const char * otp);

ARGUMENTS

       const char * secret
                   the shared secret string

       size_t secret_length
                   length of secret

       time_t now  Unix time value to validate TOTP for

       unsigned time_step_size
                   time step system parameter (typically 30)

       time_t start_offset
                   Unix time of when to start counting time steps (typically 0)

       size_t window
                   how many OTPs after/before start OTP to test

       int * otp_pos
                   output search position in search window (may be NULL).

       uint64_t * otp_counter
                   counter value used to calculate OTP value (may be NULL).

       int flags   flags indicating mode, one of oath_totp_flags

       const char * otp
                   the OTP to validate.

DESCRIPTION

       Validate an OTP according to OATH TOTP algorithm per RFC 6238.

       Currently only OTP lengths of 6, 7 or 8 digits are supported.  This restrictions may be lifted in  future
       versions, although some limitations are inherent in the protocol.

       The  flags  parameter  may  be  used  to  change  the  MAC function, for example OATH_TOTP_HMAC_SHA256 or
       OATH_TOTP_HMAC_SHA512.

RETURNS

       Returns absolute value of position in OTP window (zero is first position), or OATH_INVALID_OTP if no  OTP
       was found in OTP window, or an error code.

SINCE

       2.6.0
