## Description

PKCS\#11 URIs

are a standard for referring to PKCS#11 modules, tokens, or objects. What the PKCS#11 URI refers to depends on the context in which it is used.

A PKCS#11 URI can always resolve to more than one object, token or module. A PKCS#11 URI that refers to a token, would (when used in a context that expects objects) refer to all the token on that module.

In most cases the parsing or building of URIs is handled elsewhere in the GCK library. For example to enumerate objects that match a PKCS#11 URI use the `gck_modules_enumerate_uri()` function.

To parse a PKCS#11 URI use the `gck_uri_parse()` function passing in the type of context in which you're using the URI. To build a URI use the `gck_uri_build()` function.

## Functions

### gck_uri_data_new ()

    GckUriData *
    gck_uri_data_new (void);

Allocate a new GckUriData structure. None of the fields will be set.

#### Returns

a newly allocated GckUriData, free with `gck_uri_data_free()`.

[transfer full]

### gck_uri_parse ()

    GckUriData *
    gck_uri_parse (const gchar *string,
                   GckUriFlags flags,
                   GError **error);

Parse a PKCS#11 URI for use in a given context.

The result will contain the fields that are relevant for the given context. See GckUriData for more info. Other fields will be set to `NULL`.

#### Parameters

string | the URI to parse. |
flags | the context in which the URI will be used. |
error | a GError, or `NULL`. |

#### Returns

a newly allocated GckUriData; which should be freed with `gck_uri_data_free()`.

[transfer full]

### gck_uri_build ()

    gchar *
    gck_uri_build (GckUriData *uri_data,
                   GckUriFlags flags);

Build a PKCS#11 URI. The various parts relevant to the flags specified will be used to build the URI.

#### Parameters

uri_data | the info to build the URI from. |
flags | The context that the URI is for |

#### Returns

a newly allocated string containing a PKCS#11 URI.

### gck_uri_data_copy ()

    GckUriData *
    gck_uri_data_copy (GckUriData *uri_data);

Copy a GckUriData

#### Parameters

uri_data | URI data to copy |

#### Returns

newly allocated copy of the uri data.

[transfer full]

### gck_uri_data_free ()

    void
    gck_uri_data_free (GckUriData *uri_data);

Free a GckUriData.

#### Parameters

uri_data | URI data to free. |

## Types and Values

### struct GckUriData

    struct GckUriData {
    	gboolean any_unrecognized;
    	GckModuleInfo *module_info;
    	GckTokenInfo *token_info;
    	GckAttributes *attributes;
    };

Information about the contents of a PKCS#11 URI. Various fields may be `NULL` depending on the context that the URI was parsed for.

Since PKCS#11 URIs represent a set which results from the intersections of all of the URI parts, if `any_recognized` is set to `TRUE` then usually the URI should be treated as not matching anything.

#### Members

gboolean `any_unrecognized`; | whether any parts of the PKCS#11 URI were unsupported or unrecognized. |
GckModuleInfo *`module_info`; | information about the PKCS#11 modules matching the URI. |
GckTokenInfo *`token_info`; | information about the PKCS#11 tokens matching the URI. |
GckAttributes *`attributes`; | information about the PKCS#11 objects matching the URI. |

### enum GckUriError

Various error codes used with PKCS#11 URIs

#### Members

GCK_URI_BAD_SCHEME | invalid URI scheme |
GCK_URI_BAD_ENCODING | bad URI encoding |
GCK_URI_BAD_SYNTAX | bad URI syntax |
GCK_URI_BAD_VERSION | bad URI version component |
GCK_URI_NOT_FOUND | piece of the URI was not found |

### enum GckUriFlags

Which parts of the PKCS#11 URI will be parsed or formatted. These can be combined.

#### Members

GCK_URI_FOR_OBJECT | the URI will be used to match objects. |
GCK_URI_FOR_TOKEN | the URI will be used to match tokens. |
GCK_URI_FOR_MODULE | the URI will be used to match modules. |
GCK_URI_WITH_VERSION | the URI has specific version numbers for module and/or token |
GCK_URI_FOR_ANY | parse all recognized components of the URI. |

### GCK_URI_FOR_MODULE_WITH_VERSION

    #define             GCK_URI_FOR_MODULE_WITH_VERSION         (GCK_URI_WITH_VERSION | GCK_URI_FOR_MODULE)

The URI will match specific version of modules. To be used as a GckUriFlags argument.

### GCK_URI_FOR_OBJECT_ON_TOKEN

    #define             GCK_URI_FOR_OBJECT_ON_TOKEN             (GCK_URI_FOR_OBJECT | GCK_URI_FOR_TOKEN)

The URI will match objects on a specific token. To be used as a GckUriFlags argument.

### GCK_URI_FOR_OBJECT_ON_TOKEN_AND_MODULE

    #define             GCK_URI_FOR_OBJECT_ON_TOKEN_AND_MODULE  (GCK_URI_FOR_OBJECT_ON_TOKEN | GCK_URI_FOR_MODULE)

The token inserted into a device with a specific module.

### GCK_URI_ERROR

    #define             GCK_URI_ERROR                           (gck_uri_error_get_quark ())

Error domain for URI errors.
