DESCRIPTION

ldns_key_new(): Creates a new empty key structure .br Returns a new ldns_key * structure

ldns_key_new_frm_algorithm(): Creates a new key based on the algorithm
.br a: The algorithm to use .br size: the number of bytes for the keysize .br Returns a new ldns_key structure with the key

ldns_key_new_frm_fp()

Creates a new priv key based on the contents of the file pointed by fp.

The file should be in Privat-ke-format v1.x.

.br k: the new ldns_key structure .br fp: the file pointer to use .br Returns an error or LDNS_STATUS_OK

ldns_key_new_frm_fp_l()

Creates a new private key based on the contents of the file pointed by fp

The file should be in Privat-ke-format v1.x.

.br k: the new ldns_key structure .br fp: the file pointer to use .br line_nr: pointer to an integer containing the current line number (for debugging purposes) .br Returns an error or LDNS_STATUS_OK

ldns_key_new_frm_fp_rsa(): frm_fp helper function. This function parses the remainder of the (RSA) priv. key file generated from bind9 .br fp: the file to parse .br Returns NULL on failure otherwise a RSA structure

ldns_key_new_frm_fp_rsa_l(): frm_fp helper function. This function parses the remainder of the (RSA) priv. key file generated from bind9 .br fp: the file to parse .br line_nr: pointer to an integer containing the current line number (for debugging purposes) .br Returns NULL on failure otherwise a RSA structure

ldns_key_new_frm_fp_dsa(): frm_fp helper function. This function parses the remainder of the (DSA) priv. key file .br fp: the file to parse .br Returns NULL on failure otherwise a RSA structure

ldns_key_new_frm_fp_dsa_l(): frm_fp helper function. This function parses the remainder of the (DSA) priv. key file .br fp: the file to parse .br line_nr: pointer to an integer containing the current line number (for debugging purposes) .br Returns NULL on failure otherwise a RSA structure
