Synopsis

int zmq_curve_keypair(char *z85_public_key, char *z85_secret_key);

Description

The zmq_curve_keypair() function shall return a newly generated random keypair consisting of a public key and a secret key. The caller provides two buffers, each at least 41 octets large, in which this method will store the keys. The keys are encoded using zmq_z85_encode(3).

Errors

ENOTSUP

The libzmq library was not built with cryptographic support (libsodium).

char secret_key[41];
int rc = zmq_curve_keypair(public_key, secret_key);
assert(rc == 0);
