Module sequoia_openpgp::types[−][src]

Expand description

Primitive types.

This module provides types used in OpenPGP, like enumerations describing algorithms.

Common Operations

Rounding the creation time of signatures: See the Timestamp::round_down method.
Checking key usage flags: See the KeyFlags data structure.
Setting key validity ranges: See the Timestamp and Duration data structures.

Data structures

`CompressionLevel`

Allows adjusting the amount of effort spent on compressing encoded data. This structure additionally has several helper methods for commonly used compression strategies.

`Features`

Describes particular features supported by the given OpenPGP implementation.

`KeyFlags`

Holds imformation about a key in particular how the given key can be used.

`RevocationKey`

Describes a key that has been designated to issue revocation signatures.

`KeyServerPreferences`

Describes preferences regarding to key servers.

In OpenPGP time is represented as the number of seconds since the UNIX epoch stored as an u32. These two data structures allow manipulating OpenPGP time ensuring that adding or subtracting durations will never overflow or underflow without notice.
