Detailed Description

PEP client PIP function prototypes and type.

These function prototypes allow to implement a PIP. The PIP pre-processes the PEP request, before the PEP client sends it to the PEP daemon.

The PIP functions must return 0 on success or an error code.

PIP must be added to the PEP client before sending the request.
