NAME
       oath_totp_validate4 - API function

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<oath.h>

       int  oath_totp_validate4(const  char  *	secret,	 size_t	secret_length,
       time_t now, unsigned time_step_size, time_t start_offset,  size_t  win-
       dow,  int  *  otp_pos,  uint64_t	* otp_counter, int flags, const	char *
       otp);

ARGUMENTS
       const char * secret
		   the shared secret string

       size_t secret_length
		   length of secret

       time_t now  Unix	time value to validate 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)

       size_t window
		   how many OTPs after/before start OTP	to test

       int * otp_pos
		   output search position in search window (may	be NULL).

       uint64_t	* otp_counter
		   counter value used to calculate OTP value (may be NULL).

       int flags   flags indicating mode, one of oath_totp_flags

       const char * otp
		   the OTP to validate.

DESCRIPTION
       Validate	an OTP according to OATH TOTP algorithm	per RFC	6238.

       Currently only OTP lengths of 6,	7 or 8 digits are supported.  This re-
       strictions  may be lifted in future versions, although some limitations
       are inherent in the protocol.

       The flags parameter may be used to change the MAC function, for example
       OATH_TOTP_HMAC_SHA256 or	OATH_TOTP_HMAC_SHA512.

RETURNS
       Returns absolute	value of position in OTP window	(zero is  first	 posi-
       tion), or OATH_INVALID_OTP if no	OTP was	found in OTP window, or	an er-
       ror code.

SINCE
       2.6.0
