openssh-rsa-dsa-parse

Simple, fast parsing of OpenSSH RSA and DSA keys to programmatically access key type, length, and and multiple key formats.

Getting Started

``
npm install openssh-rsa-dsa-parse
`

Load the module...

`javascript
var opensshparser = require('openssh-rsa-dsa-parse');
`

Then load a key...

`javascript
var newKey = new opensshparser('ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABJ[...]');
`

API

$3

Load and parse an RSA or DSA/DSS OpenSSH key.

* yourkey - (String) RSA or DSA key in the format of ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABJ[...] or ssh-dss AAAAB3NzaC1kc3MAAACBAJ[...]

$3

Returns the entire key as a string

$3

Return the key type as a string (ssh-rsa, ssh-dss, etc.)

$3

Return the key data as a string

$3

Return the key length (modulus) as a number

$3

Return the key's comment, if it has one, or null

$3

Return the entire key as an array of bytes

$3

Interprets the key as a repeating pattern of

<4 byte data length specifier>

and returns an array of arrays, with each subarray containing a data chunk as delimited by the above pattern (the length data is discarded).
