NAME

6       oath_hotp_generate - API function
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <oath.h>
10
11       int  oath_hotp_generate(const  char  *  secret,  size_t  secret_length,
12       uint64_t moving_factor,  unsigned  digits,  bool  add_checksum,  size_t
13       truncation_offset, char * output_otp);
14

ARGUMENTS

16       const char * secret
17                   the shared secret string
18
19       size_t secret_length
20                   length of secret
21
22       uint64_t moving_factor
23                   a counter indicating the current OTP to generate
24
25       unsigned digits
26                   number of requested digits in the OTP, excluding checksum
27
28       bool add_checksum
29                   whether to add a checksum digit or not
30
31       size_t truncation_offset
32                   use a specific truncation offset
33
34       char * output_otp
35                   output buffer, must have room for the output OTP plus zero
36

DESCRIPTION

38       Generate  a  one-time-password using the HOTP algorithm as described in
39       RFC 4226.
40
41       Use  a  value  of  OATH_HOTP_DYNAMIC_TRUNCATION  for  truncation_offset
42       unless you really need a specific truncation offset.
43
44       To  find  out  the  size  of the OTP you may use the OATH_HOTP_LENGTH()
45       macro.  The output_otp buffer must be have room for  that  length  plus
46       one for the terminating NUL.
47
48       Currently  only  values  6,  7  and 8 for digits are supported, and the
49       add_checksum value is ignored.  These restrictions  may  be  lifted  in
50       future  versions,  although some limitations are inherent in the proto‐
51       col.
52

RETURNS

54       On success, OATH_OK (zero) is returned,  otherwise  an  error  code  is
55       returned.
