# DESCRIPTION

The `fido_dev_info_manifest`() function fills devlist with up to ilen FIDO devices found by the underlying operating system. Currently only USB HID devices are supported. The number of discovered devices is returned in olen, where olen is an addressable pointer.

The `fido_dev_info_new`() function returns a pointer to a newly allocated, empty device list with n available slots. If memory is not available, NULL is returned.

The `fido_dev_info_free`() function releases the memory backing *devlist_p, where *devlist_p must have been previously allocated by `fido_dev_info_new`(). The number n of allocated slots must also be provided. On return, *devlist_p is set to NULL. Either devlist_p or *devlist_p may be NULL, in which case `fido_dev_info_free`() is a NOP.

The `fido_dev_info_ptr`() function returns a pointer to slot number i of devlist. It is the caller's responsibility to ensure that i is bounded. Please note that the first slot has index 0.

The `fido_dev_info_path`() returns the filesystem path or subsystem-specific identification string of di.

The `fido_dev_info_product`() function returns the product ID of di.

The `fido_dev_info_vendor`() function returns the vendor ID of di.

The `fido_dev_info_manufacturer_string`() function returns the manufacturer string of di.

The `fido_dev_info_product_string`() function returns the product string of di.

An example of how to use the functions described in this document can be found in the examples/manifest.c file shipped with libfido2.

# RETURN VALUES

The `fido_dev_info_manifest`() function always returns `FIDO_OK`. If a discovery error occurs, the olen pointer is set to 0.

The pointers returned by `fido_dev_info_ptr`(), `fido_dev_info_path`(), `fido_dev_info_manufacturer_string`(), and `fido_dev_info_product_string`() are guaranteed to exist until `fido_dev_info_free`() is called on the corresponding device list.
