Library Functions Manual · ldns

okay so bestie, welcome to the ldns(3) page, which is literally a whole lil' squad of functions for reading ldns_keys. it's giving "I just want to peek inside my key and know what's up" energy, and honestly? same. 🌸

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so basically this is the friend group of getters that all wanna tell you stuff about your keys. no cap, every single one of them is just "gimme the key, I'll tell you a secret about it." 💅

---

🎀 ldns_key_list_key_count()

returns the number of keys in the key list key_list

• key_list — the key_list

returns the numbers of keys in the list ✨

---

🎀 ldns_key_list_key()

returns a pointer to the key in the list at the given position

• key — the key
• nr — the position in the list

returns the key 👑

---

🎀 ldns_key_rsa_key()

returns the (openssl) RSA struct contained in the key

• k — the key to look in

returns the RSA * structure in the key 🔥

---

🎀 ldns_key_dsa_key()

returns the (openssl) DSA struct contained in the key 💀

---

🎀 ldns_key_algorithm()

return the signing alg of the key

• k — the key

returns the algorithm 🧚

---

🎀 ldns_key_hmac_key()

return the hmac key data

• k — the key

returns the hmac key data 🍓

---

🎀 ldns_key_origttl()

return the original ttl of the key

• k — the key

returns the original ttl ⭐

---

🎀 ldns_key_inception()

return the key's inception date

• k — the key

returns the inception date 🌸

---

🎀 ldns_key_expiration()

return the key's expiration date

• k — the key

returns the expiration date ⌛

---

🎀 ldns_key_keytag()

return the keytag

• k — the key

returns the keytag 🏷️

---

🎀 ldns_key_pubkey_owner()

return the public key's owner

• k — the key

returns the owner 💖

---
