oath_totp_generate2(3)		     liboath		  oath_totp_generate2(3)

NAME
     oath_totp_generate2 - API function

SYNOPSIS
     #include <oath.h>

     int  oath_totp_generate2(const  char * secret, size_t secret_length, time_t
     now, unsigned time_step_size, time_t  start_offset,  unsigned  digits,  int
     flags, 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

     int flags	 flags indicating mode, one of oath_totp_flags

     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  in-
     dicate 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	restric-
     tion may be lifted in future versions.

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

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

SINCE
     2.6.0
