Struct Client

pub struct Client { /* private fields */ }

A Client instance is an object that can be used to interact with an ssh-agent, typically using a Unix socket

Implementations

impl Client

pub fn connect(path: &Path) -> Result<Client>

Constructs a Client connected to a unix socket referenced by path.

pub fn with_read_write(read_write: Box<dyn ReadWrite>) -> Client

Construct a Client backed by an implementation of ReadWrite, mainly useful for testing.

pub fn list_identities(&mut self) -> Result<Vec<PublicKey>>

List the identities that has been added to the connected ssh-agent.

pub fn add_identity(&mut self, key: &PrivateKey) -> Result<()>

Add an identity to the connected ssh-agent.

pub fn remove_identity(&mut self, key: &PrivateKey) -> Result<()>

Remove an identity from the connected ssh-agent.

pub fn remove_all_identities(&mut self) -> Result<()>

Remove all identities from the connected ssh-agent.

pub fn sign(&mut self, key: &PublicKey, data: &[u8]) -> Result<Signature>

Instruct the connected ssh-agent to sign data with the private key associated with the provided public key. For now, sign requests with RSA keys are hard coded to use the SHA-512 hashing algorithm.
