DESCRIPTION
The fido_cbor_info_new() function returns a pointer to a newly allocated, empty fido_cbor_info_t type.
If memory cannot be allocated, NULL is returned.
The fido_cbor_info_free() function releases the memory backing *ci_p, where *ci_p must have been
previously allocated by fido_cbor_info_new(). On return, *ci_p is set to NULL. Either ci_p or *ci_p may
be NULL, in which case fido_cbor_info_free() is a NOP.
The fido_dev_get_cbor_info() function transmits a CTAP_CBOR_GETINFO command to dev and fills ci with
attributes retrieved from the command's response. The fido_dev_get_cbor_info() function may block.
The fido_cbor_info_aaguid_ptr(), fido_cbor_info_extensions_ptr(), fido_cbor_info_protocols_ptr(),
fido_cbor_info_transports_ptr(), and fido_cbor_info_versions_ptr() functions return pointers to the
authenticator attestation GUID, supported extensions, PIN protocol, transports, and CTAP version strings
of ci. The corresponding length of a given attribute can be obtained by fido_cbor_info_aaguid_len(),
fido_cbor_info_extensions_len(), fido_cbor_info_protocols_len(), fido_cbor_info_transports_len(), or
fido_cbor_info_versions_len().
The fido_cbor_info_options_name_ptr() and fido_cbor_info_options_value_ptr() functions return pointers to
the array of option names and their respective values in ci. The length of the options array is returned
by fido_cbor_info_options_len().
The fido_cbor_info_algorithm_count() function returns the number of supported algorithms in ci. The
fido_cbor_info_algorithm_cose() function returns the COSE identifier of algorithm idx in ci, or 0 if the
COSE identifier is unknown or unset. The fido_cbor_info_algorithm_type() function returns the type of
algorithm idx in ci, or NULL if the type is unset. Please note that the first algorithm in ci has an idx
(index) value of 0.
The fido_cbor_info_certs_name_ptr() and fido_cbor_info_certs_value_ptr() functions return pointers to the
array of certification names and their respective values in ci. The length of the certifications array
is returned by fido_cbor_info_certs_len().
The fido_cbor_info_maxmsgsiz() function returns the maximum message size attribute of ci.
The fido_cbor_info_maxcredbloblen() function returns the maximum “credBlob” length in bytes supported by
the authenticator as reported in ci.
The fido_cbor_info_maxcredcntlst() function returns the maximum supported number of credentials in a
single credential ID list as reported in ci.
The fido_cbor_info_maxcredidlen() function returns the maximum supported length of a credential ID as
reported in ci.
The fido_cbor_info_maxrpid_minpinlen() function returns the maximum number of RP IDs that may be passed
to fido_dev_set_pin_minlen_rpid(3), as reported in ci. The minimum PIN length attribute is a CTAP 2.1
addition. If the attribute is not advertised by the authenticator, the
fido_cbor_info_maxrpid_minpinlen() function returns zero.
The fido_cbor_info_maxlargeblob() function returns the maximum length in bytes of an authenticator's
serialized largeBlob array as reported in ci.
The fido_cbor_info_minpinlen() function returns the minimum PIN length enforced by the authenticator as
reported in ci. The minimum PIN length attribute is a CTAP 2.1 addition. If the attribute is not
advertised by the authenticator, the fido_cbor_info_minpinlen() function returns zero.
The fido_cbor_info_fwversion() function returns the firmware version attribute of ci.
The fido_cbor_info_uv_attempts() function returns the number of UV attempts that the platform may attempt
before falling back to PIN authentication. If 1, then all fido_dev_get_uv_retry_count(3) retries are
handled internally by the authenticator and the platform may only attempt non-PIN UV once. The UV
attempts attribute is a CTAP 2.1 addition. If the attribute is not advertised by the authenticator, the
fido_cbor_info_uv_attempts() function returns zero.
The fido_cbor_info_uv_modality() function returns a bitmask representing different UV modes supported by
the authenticator, as defined in the FIDO Registry of Predefined Values and reported in ci. See the
FIDO_UV_MODE_* definitions in <fido/param.h> for the set of values defined by libfido2 and a brief
description of each. The UV modality attribute is a CTAP 2.1 addition. If the attribute is not
advertised by the authenticator, the fido_cbor_info_uv_modality() function returns zero.
The fido_cbor_info_rk_remaining() function returns the estimated number of additional
resident/discoverable credentials that can be stored on the authenticator as reported in ci. The
estimated number of remaining resident credentials is a CTAP 2.1 addition. If the attribute is not
advertised by the authenticator, the fido_cbor_info_rk_remaining() function returns -1.
The fido_cbor_info_new_pin_required() function returns whether a new PIN is required by the authenticator
as reported in ci. If fido_cbor_info_new_pin_required() returns true, operations requiring PIN
authentication will fail until a new PIN is set on the authenticator. The fido_dev_set_pin(3) function
can be used to set a new PIN.
A complete example of how to use these functions can be found in the example/info.c file shipped with
libfido2.
RETURN VALUES
The fido_cbor_info_aaguid_ptr(), fido_cbor_info_extensions_ptr(), fido_cbor_info_protocols_ptr(),
fido_cbor_info_transports_ptr(), fido_cbor_info_versions_ptr(), fido_cbor_info_options_name_ptr(), and
fido_cbor_info_options_value_ptr() functions return NULL if the respective field in ci is absent. If not
NULL, returned pointers are guaranteed to exist until any API function that takes ci without the const
qualifier is invoked.
