Struct makiko::host_file::File

pub struct File { /* private fields */ }

Representation of an OpenSSH-compatible known_hosts file.

This file stores information about host keys. It is a list of entries, where each entry has a hostname and a public key. The hostname can be represented in plaintext (example.com), as a plaintext pattern (*.examp?e.com), as a list of such patterns (example.com,github.com) or in a hashed format that hides the hostname (|1|kRjF0OC...).

You can iterate over all entries using entries(), or you can use match_hostname_key()/match_host_port_key() to lookup the entries that either accept or revoke a given combination of host and key.

You can also append new entries to the file using append_entry(). In this way, it is possible to update the known_hosts file with new keys, without touching the previous entries (all previous lines will be preserved verbatim, including comments and invalid lines).

Implementations

impl File

pub fn decode(data: Bytes) -> Self

Parses a file in OpenSSH known_hosts format.

This function never fails: invalid lines are silently ignored.

pub fn new() -> Self

Creates a new empty File.

pub fn entries(&self) -> impl Iterator<Item = &Entry>

Iterates through all entries in the file.

Comments and invalid lines are not returned by this method.

pub fn match_hostname_key( &self, hostname: &str, pubkey: &Pubkey ) -> KeyMatch<'_>

Finds the match for the given hostname and key in this file.

See host_port_to_hostname() for the format of the hostname; you can use match_host_port_key() to match a (host, port) pair.

If you want more advanced processing, you can use entries() to list all entries and the Entry::matches_hostname() and Entry::pubkey() methods to match them to a hostname and key.

pub fn match_host_port_key( &self, host: &str, port: u16, pubkey: &Pubkey ) -> KeyMatch<'_>

Finds the match for the given host and port in this file.

Same as match_hostname_key(), but formats the host and port using host_port_to_hostname().

pub fn entry_builder() -> EntryBuilder

Creates an EntryBuilder, which can be used to add an entry (or a set of entries) to the file (see append_entry()).

pub fn append_entry(&mut self, builder: &EntryBuilder)

Appends all entries from the EntryBuilder to this file.

pub fn encode(&self) -> BytesMut

Encodes this file into an OpenSSH-compatible known_hosts file.

If the file was created using decode(), the original lines will be preserved verbatim, including comments and invalid lines. Entries added using append_entry() will be appended as new lines at the end of the file.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for File

fn clone(&self) -> File

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for File

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Default for File

fn default() -> Self

Returns the “default value” for a type.
