int oath_hotp_validate(const char * secret, size_t secret_length, uint64_t start_moving_factor, size_t window, const char * otp);

const char * secret

the shared secret string

size_t secret_length

length of secret

uint64_t start_moving_factor

start counter in OTP stream

size_t window

how many OTPs after start counter to test

const char * otp

Validate an OTP according to OATH HOTP algorithm per RFC 4226.

Currently only OTP lengths of 6, 7 or 8 digits are supported.  This restrictions may be lifted in future versions, although some limitations are inherent in the protocol.
