Struct confitul::RemoteHost

pub struct RemoteHost { /* private fields */ }

A remote host, for which this program instance is not responsible.

Typically, this is a host about which we gathered informations, but it is not local so, among other things, we can not really trust it and we do not have its private key.

This should NOT be serialized as it is not trustable. Instead, de-serialize from the HostInfo struct then call the constructor, which checks for integrity.

Implementations

impl RemoteHost

pub fn new(info: &HostInfo) -> Result<RemoteHost, Error>

Create a new remote host.

The typical way to build this is from host info which has been serialized, sent over the wire, then de-serialized into a host info.

Examples

use confitul::LocalHost;
use confitul::RemoteHost;
use confitul::Host;

let lh = LocalHost::new(None).unwrap();
let rh = RemoteHost::new(&lh.info()).unwrap();
print!("{}\n{}\n", lh, rh);
