# DESCRIPTION

Existing FIDO2 biometric enrollments are abstracted in libfido2 by the fido_bio_template_t and fido_bio_template_array_t types.

The functions described in this page allow a fido_bio_template_t type to be allocated, deallocated, changed, and inspected, and a fido_bio_template_array_t type to be allocated, deallocated, and inspected. For device operations on fido_bio_template_t and fido_bio_template_array_t, please refer to fido_bio_dev_get_info(3).

The `fido_bio_template_new`() function returns a pointer to a newly allocated, empty fido_bio_template_t type. If memory cannot be allocated, NULL is returned.

The `fido_bio_template_free`() function releases the memory backing *template_p, where *template_p must have been previously allocated by `fido_bio_template_new`(). On return, *template_p is set to NULL. Either template_p or *template_p may be NULL, in which case `fido_bio_template_free`() is a NOP.

The `fido_bio_template_name`() function returns a pointer to a NUL-terminated string containing the friendly name of template, or NULL if template does not have a friendly name set.

The `fido_bio_template_id_ptr`() function returns a pointer to the template id of template, or NULL if template does not have an id. The corresponding length can be obtained by `fido_bio_template_id_len`().

The `fido_bio_template_set_name`() function sets the friendly name of template to name. If name is NULL, the friendly name of template is unset.

The `fido_bio_template_array_new`() function returns a pointer to a newly allocated, empty fido_bio_template_array_t type. If memory cannot be allocated, NULL is returned.

The `fido_bio_template_array_free`() function releases the memory backing *array_p, where *array_p must have been previously allocated by `fido_bio_template_array_new`(). On return, *array_p is set to NULL. Either array_p or *array_p may be NULL, in which case `fido_bio_template_array_free`() is a NOP.

The `fido_bio_template_array_count`() function returns the number of templates in array.

The `fido_bio_template`() function returns a pointer to the template at index idx in array. Please note that the first template in array has an idx (index) value of 0.

# RETURN VALUES

The error codes returned by `fido_bio_template_set_id`() and `fido_bio_template_set_name`() are defined in `<fido/err.h>`. On success, `FIDO_OK` is returned.
