Expand description
OpenPGP packet headers.
An OpenPGP packet header contains packet meta-data. Specifically, it includes the packet’s type (its so-called tag), and the packet’s length.
Decades ago, when OpenPGP was conceived, saving even a few bits was considered important. As such, OpenPGP uses very compact encodings. The encoding schemes have evolved so that there are now two families: the so-called old format, and new format encodings.
Structs
A CTB using the new format encoding.
A CTB using the old format encoding.
A packet’s header.
Enums
A packet’s size.
The CTB variants.
The length encoded for an old style CTB.
