<h4 class="subsection">5.2.2 Accessing objects that require a PIN</h4>
<p>Objects stored in token such as a private keys are typically protected
from access by a PIN or password. This PIN may be required to either read
the object (if allowed) or to perform operations with it. To allow obtaining
the PIN when accessing a protected object, as well as probe
the user to insert the token the following functions allow to set a callback.
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code><var>void</var> <a href="PKCS-11-API.html#gnutls_005fpkcs11_005fset_005ftoken_005ffunction">gnutls_pkcs11_set_token_function</a> (gnutls_pkcs11_token_callback_t <var>fn</var>, void * <var>userdata</var>)</code></dt>

</dl>
<p>The callback is of type <code>gnutls_pin_callback_t</code> and will have as
input the provided userdata, the PIN attempt number, a URL describing the
token, a label describing the object and flags. The PIN must be at most
of <code>pin_max</code> size and must be copied to pin variable. The function must
return 0 on success or a negative error code otherwise.
</p>

const char *token_url,
const char *token_label,
unsigned int flags,
char *pin, size_t pin_max);
</pre>
<p>The flags are of <code>gnutls_pin_flag_t</code> type and are explained below.

<p>Note that due to limitations of <acronym>PKCS</acronym> #11 there are issues when multiple libraries
are sharing a module. To avoid this problem GnuTLS uses <acronym>p11-kit</acronym>
that provides a middleware to control access to resources over the
multiple users.
</p>
<p>To avoid conflicts with multiple registered callbacks for PIN functions,
<a href="PKCS-11-API.html#gnutls_005fpkcs11_005fget_005fpin_005ffunction">gnutls_pkcs11_get_pin_function</a> may be used to check for any previously
set functions. In addition context specific PIN functions are allowed, e.g., by
using functions below.
