Struct Reader 

pub struct Reader<'a> { /* private fields */ }

A Reader is used for reading from a byte sequence representing an encoded OpenSSH public key or certificate.

Implementations

impl<'a> Reader<'a>

pub fn new<T: ?Sized + AsRef<[u8]>>(inner: &T) -> Reader<'_>

Creates a new Reader instance from the given byte sequence.

Example

let data = vec![0, 0, 0, 42];
let mut reader = sshkeys::Reader::new(&data);
let num = reader.read_u32().unwrap();
assert_eq!(num, 42);

pub fn set_offset(&mut self, offset: usize) -> Result<()>

Sets the Reader current offset to a given position.

Example

let data = vec![0, 0, 0, 42];
let mut reader = sshkeys::Reader::new(&data);
let num = reader.read_u32().unwrap();
assert_eq!(num, 42);
reader.set_offset(0);
let num_42_again = reader.read_u32().unwrap();
assert_eq!(num_42_again, 42);

pub fn read_bytes(&mut self) -> Result<Vec<u8>>

Reads a byte buffer from the wrapped byte sequence and returns it as a Vec<u8>. The buffer is represented by it’s length as u32 value followed by the actual bytes to read.

Example

let data = vec![0, 0, 0, 13, 97, 32, 116, 101, 115, 116, 32, 115, 116, 114, 105, 110, 103];
let mut reader = sshkeys::Reader::new(&data);
let bytes = reader.read_bytes().unwrap();
assert_eq!(bytes, [97, 32, 116, 101, 115, 116, 32, 115, 116, 114, 105, 110, 103]);

pub fn read_mpint(&mut self) -> Result<Vec<u8>>

Reads an mpint value from the wrapped byte sequence.

Drops the leading byte if it’s value is zero according to the RFC 4251, section 5.

Example

let data = vec![0, 0, 0, 3, 1, 0, 1];
let mut reader = sshkeys::Reader::new(&data);
let mpint = reader.read_mpint().unwrap();
assert_eq!(mpint, [1, 0, 1]);

pub fn read_string(&mut self) -> Result<String>

Reads a string value from the wrapped byte sequence and returns it as a String. The value that we read should be a valid UTF-8.

Example

let data = vec![0, 0, 0, 13, 97, 32, 116, 101, 115, 116, 32, 115, 116, 114, 105, 110, 103];
let mut reader = sshkeys::Reader::new(&data);
let result = reader.read_string().unwrap();
assert_eq!(result, "a test string");

pub fn read_u32(&mut self) -> Result<u32>

Reads an u32 value from the wrapped byte sequence and returns it.

Example

let data = vec![0, 0, 0, 42];
let mut reader = sshkeys::Reader::new(&data);
let num = reader.read_u32().unwrap();
assert_eq!(num, 42);

pub fn read_u64(&mut self) -> Result<u64>

Reads an u64 value from the wrapped byte sequence and returns it.

Example

let data = vec![0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 42];
let mut reader = sshkeys::Reader::new(&data);
let num = reader.read_u64().unwrap();
assert_eq!(num, 42);

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.
