zmq_curve_public - derive the public key from a private key
Contents
Description
The zmq_curve_public() function shall derive the public key from a private key. The caller provides two
buffers, each at least 41 octets large. In z85_secret_key the caller shall provide the private key, and
the function will store the public key in z85_public_key. The keys are encoded using zmq_z85_encode(3).
Errors
ENOTSUP
The libzmq library was not built with cryptographic support (libsodium).
