const std = @import("std");
const chilkat = @import("chilkat");

pub fn main(init: std.process.Init) !void {
    const alloc = init.arena.allocator();

    // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    // Note: Chilkat's PKCS11 implementation runs on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and other supported operating systems.

    const pkcs11 = try chilkat.Pkcs11.init();
    defer pkcs11.deinit();

    // Use the PKCS11 driver (.dll, .so, .dylib) for your particular HSM.
    // For example:
    pkcs11.setSharedLibPath("C:/Program Files (x86)/Gemalto/IDGo 800 PKCS#11/IDPrimePKCS1164.dll");

    // Use your HSM's PIN to login.
    // If you wish to establish a session without logging in, then set the pin equal to the empty string.
    const pin = "0000";

    // Normal user = 1
    const user_type = 1;

    // Establish a logged-on user session with the HSM.
    // The call to QuickSession takes the place of calling Initialize, OpenSession, and Login.
    pkcs11.quickSession(user_type, pin) catch {
        std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try pkcs11.getLastErrorText(alloc)});
