librnp - Man Page

OpenPGP implementation, available via FFI interface.

Synopsis

#include <rnp/rnp.h> #include <rnp/rnp_err.h>

librnp is part of the RNP suite and forms the basis for the rnp(1) and rnpkeys(1) command-line utilities.

It provides an FFI interface to functions required for operations needed by the OpenPGP protocol.

Interface to the library is exposed via <rnp/rnp.h> and <rnp/rnp_err.h> headers. You will also need to link to librnp.

Please see its headers for the full function list and detailed documentation.

A number of examples are provided in src/examples folder of the RNP suite source tree.

generate.c: Demonstrates generation of an OpenPGP keypair using the JSON key description mechanism. May be used to generate any custom key types that are supported by the RNP suite.
encrypt.c: Demonstrates how to build OpenPGP-encrypted messages. A message is encrypted with keys, generated via ./generate, with a hardcoded password.
decrypt.c: Demonstrates how to decrypt OpenPGP messages. Running this example requires the ./encrypt example to be first run in order to produce the sample encrypted message for decryption.
sign.c: Demonstrates how to sign OpenPGP messages. Running this example requires the ./generate example to be first run in order to generate and write out secret keys.
verify.c: Demonstrates verify OpenPGP signed messages. Again, running this example requires the ./sign example to be first run in order to generate a signed OpenPGP message.
