FIDO_INIT(3)

# NAME

`fido_init`, `fido_set_log_handler` — initialise the FIDO2 library

# SYNOPSIS

`#include <fido.h>`

    typedef void fido_log_handler_t(const char *);

void
`fido_init`(int flags);

void
`fido_set_log_handler`(fido_log_handler_t *handler);

# DESCRIPTION

The `fido_init`() function initialises the libfido2 library. Its invocation must precede that of any other libfido2 function in the context of the executing thread.

If `FIDO_DEBUG` is set in flags, then debug output will be emitted by libfido2 on stderr. Alternatively, the `FIDO_DEBUG` environment variable may be set.

If `FIDO_DISABLE_U2F_FALLBACK` is set in flags, then libfido2 will not fallback to U2F in fido_dev_open(3) if a device claims to support FIDO2 but fails to respond to a CTAP 2.0 greeting.

The `fido_set_log_handler`() function causes handler to be called for each log line generated in the context of the executing thread. Lines passed to handler include a trailing newline character and are not printed by libfido2 on stderr.
