+=head1 NAME
+
+UI_UTIL_read_pw_string, UI_UTIL_read_pw,
+UI_UTIL_wrap_read_pem_callback - user interface utilities
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ #include <openssl/ui.h>
+
+ int UI_UTIL_read_pw_string(char *buf, int length, const char *prompt,
+                            int verify);
+ int UI_UTIL_read_pw(char *buf, char *buff, int size, const char *prompt,
+                     int verify);
+ UI_METHOD *UI_UTIL_wrap_read_pem_callback(pem_password_cb *cb, int rwflag);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+UI_UTIL_read_pw_string() asks for a passphrase, using B<prompt> as a
+prompt, and stores it in B<buf>.
+The maximum allowed size is given with B<length>, including the
+terminating NUL byte.
+If B<verify> is non-zero, the password will be verified as well.
+
+UI_UTIL_read_pw() does the same as UI_UTIL_read_pw_string(), the
+difference is that you can give it an external buffer B<buff> for the
+verification passphrase.
+
+UI_UTIL_wrap_read_pem_callback() can be used to create a temporary
+B<UI_METHOD> that wraps a given PEM password callback B<cb>.
+B<rwflag> is used to specify if this method will be used for
+passphrase entry without (0) or with (1) verification.
+When not used any more, the returned method should be freed with
+UI_destroy_method().
+
+=head1 NOTES
+
+UI_UTIL_read_pw_string() and UI_UTIL_read_pw() use default
+B<UI_METHOD>.
+See L<UI_get_default_method(3)> and friends for more information.
+
+The result from the B<UI_METHOD> created by
+UI_UTIL_wrap_read_pem_callback() will generate password strings in the
+encoding that the given password callback generates.
+The default password prompting functions (apart from
+UI_UTIL_read_pw_string() and UI_UTIL_read_pw(), there is
+PEM_def_callback(), EVP_read_pw_string() and EVP_read_pw_string_min())
+all use the default B<UI_METHOD>.
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+UI_UTIL_read_pw_string() and UI_UTIL_read_pw() return 0 on success or a negative
+value on error.
+
+UI_UTIL_wrap_read_pem_callback() returns a valid B<UI_METHOD> structure or NULL
+if an error occurred.
