24 Biometric sensor metadata is abstracted in libfido2 by the
25 fido_bio_info_t type.
26
27 The functions described in this page allow a fido_bio_info_t type to be
28 allocated, deallocated, and inspected. For device operations on
29 fido_bio_info_t, please refer to fido_bio_dev_get_info(3).

31 The fido_bio_info_new() function returns a pointer to a newly allocated,
32 empty fido_bio_info_t type. If memory cannot be allocated, NULL is re‐
33 turned.
34
35 The fido_bio_info_free() function releases the memory backing *info_p,
36 where *info_p must have been previously allocated by fido_bio_info_new().
37 On return, *info_p is set to NULL. Either info_p or *info_p may be NULL,
38 in which case fido_bio_info_free() is a NOP.
39
40 The fido_bio_info_type() function returns the fingerprint sensor type,
41 which is 1 for touch sensors, and 2 for swipe sensors.
42
43 The fido_bio_info_max_samples() function returns the maximum number of
44 successful samples required for enrollment.
