Struct sshkeys::Writer

pub struct Writer { /* private fields */ }

A Writer is used for encoding a key in OpenSSH compatible format.

Implementations

impl Writer

pub fn new() -> Writer

Creates a new Writer instance.

Example

let writer = sshkeys::Writer::new();

pub fn write_bytes(&mut self, val: &[u8])

Writes a byte sequence to the underlying vector. The value is represented as a the byte sequence length, followed by the actual byte sequence.

Example

let mut writer = sshkeys::Writer::new();
writer.write_bytes(&[0, 0, 0, 42]);
let bytes = writer.into_bytes();
assert_eq!(bytes, vec![0, 0, 0, 4, 0, 0, 0, 42]);

pub fn write_string(&mut self, val: &str)

Writes a string value to the underlying byte sequence.

Example

let mut writer = sshkeys::Writer::new();
writer.write_string("a test string");
let bytes = writer.into_bytes();
assert_eq!(bytes, [0, 0, 0, 13, 97, 32, 116, 101, 115, 116, 32, 115, 116, 114, 105, 110, 103]);

pub fn write_mpint(&mut self, val: &[u8])

Writes an mpint value to the underlying byte sequence. If the MSB bit of the first byte is set then the number is negative, otherwise it is positive. Positive numbers must be preceeded by a leading zero byte according to RFC 4251, section 5.

Example

let mut writer = sshkeys::Writer::new();
writer.write_mpint(&[1, 0, 1]);
let bytes = writer.into_bytes();
assert_eq!(bytes, [0, 0, 0, 3, 1, 0, 1]);

pub fn into_bytes(self) -> Vec<u8>

Converts the Writer into a byte sequence. This consumes the underlying byte sequence used by the Writer.

Example

let mut writer = sshkeys::Writer::new();
writer.write_string("some data");
let bytes = writer.into_bytes();
assert_eq!(bytes, [0, 0, 0, 9, 115, 111, 109, 101, 32, 100, 97, 116, 97]);

Trait Implementations

impl Debug for Writer

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.
