NAME

       Net::SSH::AuthorizedKey::Base - Virtual Base Class for ssh keys

SYNOPSIS

           # Documentation to understand methods shared
           # by all parsers. Not for direct use.

DESCRIPTION

       This is the key parser base class, offering methods common to all parsers. Don't use it
       directly, but read the documentation below to see what functionality all parsers offer.

       error()
           If a parser fails for any reason, it will leave a textual description of the error
           that threw it off. This methods retrieves the error text.

       options()
       key()
           The actual content of the key, either a big number in case of ssh-1 or a
           base64-encoded string for ssh-2.

       type()
           Type of a key. (Somewhat redundant, as you could also check what subclass a key is
           of). Either set to "ssh-1" or "ssh-2".

       email()
           Identical with comment().

       comment()
           Identical with email(). This is the text that follows in the authorized_keys file
           after the key content. Mostly used for emails and host names.
