.SH "Sudo Plugin API"
.IX Header "Sudo Plugin API"
Starting with version 1.8, \fBsudo\fR supports a plugin \s-1API\s0
for policy and session logging.  By default, the \fIsudoers\fR policy
plugin and an associated I/O logging plugin are used.  Via the plugin
\&\s-1API\s0, \fBsudo\fR can be configured to use alternate policy and/or I/O
logging plugins provided by third parties.  The plugins to be used
are specified via the \fI/etc/sudo.conf\fR file.
.PP
The \s-1API\s0 is versioned with a major and minor number.  The minor
version number is incremented when additions are made.  The major
number is incremented when incompatible changes are made.  A plugin
should be check the version passed to it and make sure that the
major version matches.
.PP
The plugin \s-1API\s0 is defined by the \f(CW\*(C`sudo_plugin.h\*(C'\fR header file.
.SS "The sudo.conf File"
.IX Subsection "The sudo.conf File"
The \fI/etc/sudo.conf\fR file contains plugin configuration directives.
Currently, the only supported keyword is the \f(CW\*(C`Plugin\*(C'\fR directive,
which causes a plugin plugin to be loaded.
.PP
A \f(CW\*(C`Plugin\*(C'\fR line consists of the \f(CW\*(C`Plugin\*(C'\fR keyword, followed by the
\&\fIsymbol_name\fR and the \fIpath\fR to the shared object containing the
plugin.  The \fIsymbol_name\fR is the name of the \f(CW\*(C`struct policy_plugin\*(C'\fR
or \f(CW\*(C`struct io_plugin\*(C'\fR in the plugin shared object.  The \fIpath\fR
may be fully qualified or relative.  If not fully qualified it is
relative to the \f(CW$prefix\fR/libexec directory where the prefix is
specified at build time (/usr/local by default).
.PP
The same shared object may contain multiple plugins, each with a
different symbol name.  The shared object file must be owned by uid
0 and only writable by its owner.  Because of ambiguities that arise
from composite policies, only a single policy plugin may be specified.
This limitation does not apply to I/O plugins.
.PP
.Vb 12

.SS "Policy Plugin \s-1API\s0"
.IX Subsection "Policy Plugin API"
A policy plugin must declare and populate a \f(CW\*(C`policy_plugin\*(C'\fR struct
in the global scope.  This structure contains pointers to the functions
that implement the \fBsudo\fR policy checks.  The name of the symbol should
be specified in \fI/etc/sudo.conf\fR along with a path to the plugin
so that \fBsudo\fR can load it.
.PP
.Vb 10

.Ve
.PP
The policy_plugin struct has the following fields:
.IP "type" 4
.IX Item "type"
The \f(CW\*(C`type\*(C'\fR field should always be set to \s-1SUDO_POLICY_PLUGIN\s0
.IP "version" 4
.IX Item "version"
The \f(CW\*(C`version\*(C'\fR field should be set to \s-1SUDO_API_VERSION\s0.
.Sp
This allows \fBsudo\fR to determine the \s-1API\s0 version the plugin was
built against.
.IP "open" 4
.IX Item "open"
.Vb 3
\& int (*open)(unsigned int version, sudo_conv_t conversation,
\&             char * const settings[], char * const user_info[],
\&             char * const user_env[]);
.Ve
.Sp
Returns 1 on success, 0 on failure and \-1 on error.
On error, the plugin may optionally call the conversation function with
\&\f(CW\*(C`SUDO_CONF_ERROR_MSG\*(C'\fR to present additional error information to the
user.
.Sp
The function arguments are as follows:
.RS 4
.IP "version" 4
.IX Item "version"
The version passed in by \fBsudo\fR allows the plugin to determine the
major and minor version number of the plugin \s-1API\s0 supported by
\&\fBsudo\fR.
.IP "conversation" 4
.IX Item "conversation"
A pointer to the conversation function that can be used by the
plugin to interact with the user (see below).
.IP "settings" 4
.IX Item "settings"
A vector of user-supplied \fBsudo\fR settings in the form of \*(L"name=value\*(R"
strings.  The vector is terminated by a \f(CW\*(C`NULL\*(C'\fR pointer.  These
settings correspond to flags the user specified when running \fBsudo\fR.
As such, they will only be present when the corresponding flag has
been specified on the command line.
.Sp
When parsing \fIsettings\fR, the plugin should split on the \fBfirst\fR
equal sign ('=') since the \fIname\fR field will never include one
itself but the \fIvalue\fR might.
.RS 4
.IP "debug_level=number" 4
.IX Item "debug_level=number"
A numeric debug level, from 1\-9, if specified via the \f(CW\*(C`\-D\*(C'\fR flag.

The group name or gid to to run the command as, if specified via
the \f(CW\*(C`\-g\*(C'\fR flag.
.IP "prompt=string" 4
.IX Item "prompt=string"
The prompt to use when requesting a password, if specified via
the \f(CW\*(C`\-p\*(C'\fR flag.
.IP "set_home=bool" 4
.IX Item "set_home=bool"
Set to true if the user specified the \f(CW\*(C`\-H\*(C'\fR flag.  If true, set the
\&\f(CW\*(C`HOME\*(C'\fR environment variable to the target user's home directory.
.IP "preserve_environment=bool" 4
.IX Item "preserve_environment=bool"
Set to true if the user specified the \f(CW\*(C`\-E\*(C'\fR flag, indicating that
the user wishes to preserve the environment.
.IP "login_shell=bool" 4
.IX Item "login_shell=bool"
Set to true if the user specified the \f(CW\*(C`\-i\*(C'\fR flag, indicating that
the user wishes to run a login shell.
.IP "implied_shell=bool" 4
.IX Item "implied_shell=bool"
If the user does not specify a program on the command line, \fBsudo\fR
will pass the plugin the path to the user's shell and set
\&\fIimplied_shell\fR to true.  This allows \fBsudo\fR with no arguments
to be used similarly to \fIsu\fR\|(1).  If the plugin does not to support
this usage, it may return a value of \-2 from the \f(CW\*(C`check_policy\*(C'\fR
function, which will cause \fBsudo\fR to print a usage message and
exit.
.IP "preserve_groups=bool" 4
.IX Item "preserve_groups=bool"
Set to true if the user specified the \f(CW\*(C`\-P\*(C'\fR flag, indicating that
the user wishes to preserve the group vector instead of setting it
based on the runas user.

Additional settings may be added in the future so the plugin should
silently ignore settings that it does not recognize.
.RE
.IP "user_info" 4
.IX Item "user_info"
A vector of information about the user running the command in the form of
\&\*(L"name=value\*(R" strings.  The vector is terminated by a \f(CW\*(C`NULL\*(C'\fR pointer.
.Sp
When parsing \fIuser_info\fR, the plugin should split on the \fBfirst\fR

When an I/O plugin is loaded, \fBsudo\fR runs the command in a pseudo-tty.
This makes it possible to log the input and output from the user's
session.  If the log_input function is defined, it will receive the
raw user input (note that this will include input even when echo
is disabled, such as passwords).  The log_output function receives
output from the pseudo-tty that is suitable for replaying the user's
session at a later time.  Either log_input or log_output may be
\&\s-1NULL\s0.  If the open function returns \f(CW0\fR, no I/O will be sent to
the plugin.
.PP
The io_plugin struct has the following fields:
.IP "type" 4

The \f(CW\*(C`type\*(C'\fR field should always be set to \s-1SUDO_IO_PLUGIN\s0
.IP "version" 4

The \f(CW\*(C`version\*(C'\fR field should be set to \s-1SUDO_API_VERSION\s0.

This allows \fBsudo\fR to determine the \s-1API\s0 version the plugin was
built against.

Returns 1 on success, 0 if the command should not be logged and \-1 on error.
On error, the plugin may optionally call the conversation function with

.IP "conversation" 4
.IX Item "conversation"
A pointer to the conversation function that may be used by the

show_version below).  The conversation function may also be used
to display additional error message to the user.
.IP "settings" 4
.IX Item "settings"
A vector of user-supplied \fBsudo\fR settings in the form of \*(L"name=value\*(R"
strings.  The vector is terminated by a \f(CW\*(C`NULL\*(C'\fR pointer.  These
settings correspond to flags the user specified when running \fBsudo\fR.
As such, they will only be present when the corresponding flag has
been specified on the command line.
.Sp
When parsing \fIsettings\fR, the plugin should split on the \fBfirst\fR
equal sign ('=') since the \fIname\fR field will never include one
itself but the \fIvalue\fR might.
.Sp
See the \*(L"Policy Plugin \s-1API\s0\*(R" section for a list of all possible settings.
.IP "user_info" 4
