NAME
       oath_totp_generate - API	function

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<oath.h>

       int  oath_totp_generate(const  char  *  secret,	size_t	secret_length,
       time_t now, unsigned time_step_size, time_t start_offset, unsigned dig-
       its, char * output_otp);

ARGUMENTS
       const char * secret
		   the shared secret string

       size_t secret_length
		   length of secret

       time_t now  Unix	time value to compute TOTP for

       unsigned	time_step_size
		   time	step system parameter (typically 30)

       time_t start_offset
		   Unix	time of	when to	start counting time  steps  (typically
		   0)

       unsigned	digits
		   number of requested digits in the OTP, excluding checksum

       char * output_otp
		   output buffer, must have room for the output	OTP plus zero

DESCRIPTION
       Generate	 a one-time-password using the time-variant TOTP algorithm de-
       scribed in RFC 6238.  The input parameters are taken as time values.

       The system parameter time_step_size describes how long the time	window
       for  each OTP is.  The recommended value	is 30 seconds, and you can use
       the value 0 or the symbol OATH_TOTP_DEFAULT_TIME_STEP_SIZE to  indicate
       this.

       The  system parameter start_offset denote the Unix time when time steps
       are started to be counted.  The recommended value is 0, to fall back on
       the Unix	epoch) and you can use the symbol OATH_TOTP_DEFAULT_START_TIME
       to indicate this.

       The output_otp buffer must have room for	at  least  digits  characters,
       plus one	for the	terminating NUL.

       Currently  only	values	6, 7 and 8 for digits are supported.  This re-
       striction may be	lifted in future versions.

RETURNS
       On success, OATH_OK (zero) is returned, otherwise an error code is  re-
       turned.

SINCE
       1.4.0
