ZMQ_CURVE_KEYPAIR(3)              0MQ Manual              ZMQ_CURVE_KEYPAIR(3)


NAME

       zmq_curve_keypair - generate a new CURVE keypair


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).


RETURN VALUE

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


ERRORS

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


EXAMPLE

       Generating a new CURVE keypair.

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