NAME

6       zmq_curve_keypair - generate a new CURVE keypair
7

SYNOPSIS

9       int zmq_curve_keypair (char *z85_public_key, char *z85_secret_key);
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The zmq_curve_keypair() function shall return a newly generated random
13       keypair consisting of a public key and a secret key. The caller
14       provides two buffers, each at least 41 octets large, in which this
15       method will store the keys. The keys are encoded using
16       zmq_z85_encode(3).
17

RETURN VALUE

19       The zmq_curve_keypair() function shall return 0 if successful, else it
20       shall return -1 and set errno to one of the values defined below.
21

ERRORS

23       ENOTSUP
24           The libzmq library was not built with cryptographic support
25           (libsodium).
26

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