.SH DESCRIPTION
.HP
\fIldns_key_new\fR()
Creates a new empty key structure
\.br
Returns a new ldns_key * structure
.PP
.HP
\fIldns_key_new_frm_algorithm\fR()
Creates a new key based on the algorithm

\.br
\fBa\fR: The algorithm to use
\.br
\fBsize\fR: the number of bytes for the keysize
\.br
Returns a new ldns_key structure with the key
.PP
.HP
\fIldns_key_new_frm_fp\fR()
Creates a new priv key based on the 
contents of the file pointed by fp.

The file should be in Private-key-format v1.x.

\.br
\fBk\fR: the new ldns_key structure
\.br
\fBfp\fR: the file pointer to use
\.br
Returns an error or \%LDNS_STATUS_OK
.PP
.HP
\fIldns_key_new_frm_fp_l\fR()
Creates a new private key based on the 
contents of the file pointed by fp

The file should be in Private-key-format v1.x.

\.br
\fBk\fR: the new ldns_key structure
\.br
\fBfp\fR: the file pointer to use
\.br
\fBline_nr\fR: pointer to an integer containing the current line number (for debugging purposes)
\.br
Returns an error or \%LDNS_STATUS_OK
.PP
.HP
\fIldns_key_new_frm_fp_rsa\fR()
frm_fp helper function. This function parses the
remainder of the (\%RSA) priv. key file generated from bind9
\.br
\fBfp\fR: the file to parse
\.br
Returns \%NULL on failure otherwise a \%RSA structure
.PP
.HP
\fIldns_key_new_frm_fp_rsa_l\fR()
frm_fp helper function. This function parses the
remainder of the (\%RSA) priv. key file generated from bind9
\.br
\fBfp\fR: the file to parse
\.br
\fBline_nr\fR: pointer to an integer containing the current line number (for debugging purposes)
\.br
Returns \%NULL on failure otherwise a \%RSA structure
.PP
.HP
\fIldns_key_new_frm_fp_dsa\fR()
frm_fp helper function. This function parses the
remainder of the (\%DSA) priv. key file
\.br
\fBfp\fR: the file to parse
\.br
Returns \%NULL on failure otherwise a \%RSA structure
.PP
.HP
\fIldns_key_new_frm_fp_dsa_l\fR()
frm_fp helper function. This function parses the
remainder of the (\%DSA) priv. key file
\.br
\fBfp\fR: the file to parse
\.br
\fBline_nr\fR: pointer to an integer containing the current line number (for debugging purposes)
\.br
Returns \%NULL on failure otherwise a \%RSA structure
