NAME

       zmq_curve_keypair - generate a new CURVE keypair

SYNOPSIS

       int zmq_curve_keypair (char *z85_public_key, char *z85_secret_key);

DESCRIPTION

       The zmq_curve_keypair() function shall return a newly generated random keypair consisting
       of a public key and a secret key. The caller provides two buffers, each at least 41 octets
       large, in which this method will store the keys. The keys are encoded using
       zmq_z85_encode(3).

RETURN VALUE

       The zmq_curve_keypair() function shall return 0 if successful, else it shall return -1 and
       set errno to one of the values defined below.

ERRORS

       ENOTSUP
           The libzmq library was not built with cryptographic support (libsodium).

EXAMPLE

       Generating a new CURVE keypair.

           char public_key [41];
           char secret_key [41];
           int rc = zmq_curve_keypair (public_key, secret_key);
           assert (rc == 0);
