25.Sh DESCRIPTION
26Biometric sensor metadata is abstracted in
27.Em libfido2
28by the
29.Vt fido_bio_info_t
30type.
31.Pp
32The functions described in this page allow a
33.Vt fido_bio_info_t
34type to be allocated, deallocated, and inspected.
35For device operations on
36.Vt fido_bio_info_t ,
37please refer to
38.Xr fido_bio_dev_get_info 3 .
39.Pp
40The
41.Fn fido_bio_info_new
42function returns a pointer to a newly allocated, empty
43.Vt fido_bio_info_t
44type.
45If memory cannot be allocated, NULL is returned.
46.Pp
47The
48.Fn fido_bio_info_free
49function releases the memory backing
50.Fa *info_p ,
51where
52.Fa *info_p
53must have been previously allocated by
54.Fn fido_bio_info_new .
55On return,
56.Fa *info_p
57is set to NULL.
58Either
59.Fa info_p
60or
61.Fa *info_p
62may be NULL, in which case
63.Fn fido_bio_info_free
64is a NOP.
65.Pp
66The
67.Fn fido_bio_info_type
68function returns the fingerprint sensor type, which is
69.Dv 1
70for touch sensors, and
71.Dv 2
72for swipe sensors.
73.Pp
74The
75.Fn fido_bio_info_max_samples
76function returns the maximum number of successful samples
77required for enrollment.
