Getpass for GO.
Leverages the good work from the people over at OpenSSL.org via cgo to provide
a simple, and cross platform getpass implementation. The API provided essentially
wraps the UI_UTIL_read_pw_string function call in <openssl/ui.h>.
// Prompt the user for their password.
func GetPass()(pw string, e os.Error)
// Prompt the user for their password, and get them to confirm it.
func GetPassConfirm()(pw string, e os.Error)
// Full customization of the call. Arugments essentially map to UI_UTIL_read_pw_string
func GetPassWithOptions(prompt string, confirm, max int)(pw string, e os.Error)
Example Usage:
package main
import (
"os"
"fmt"
"github.com/gcmurphy/getpass"
)
func main(){
fmt.Println("Use default prompt:")
pw,e := getpass.GetPass()
if e != nil {
fmt.Println("ERROR: ", e.String())
os.Exit(1)
}
fmt.Println("Password = ", pw)
}
