DESCRIPTION

Net::SSH::AuthorizedKey objects holds key lines from ssh's authorized_keys files. They just provide getter/setter methods.

METHODS

option

Get/set an option. Note that options can be either binary or carry a string:

    # Set "no-agent-forwarding" option
$ak->option("no-agent-forwarding", 1);

    # Check if no-agent-forwarding option is set
if($ak->option("no-agent-forwarding")) {
    # ...
}

    # Set the from option to 'from="a@b.com"'
$ak->option(from => 'a@b.com');

    # Get the value of the 'from' option
my $val = $ak->option("from");

option_delete

Remove an option completely. $ak->option_delete("from") will remove the from option from the key meta info.

type

Type of ssh key, either "ssh-1" or "ssh-2".

email

Email address of the person who created the key. (Different from the "from" option).

key

Public key, either a long number (ssh-1) or a line of alphanumeric characters.

keylen

Length of the key in bit (e.g. 1024).

exponent

Two-digit number in front of the key in ssh-1 keys.

Calling a method will return undef if the corresponding entry doesn't exist in the key meta data.
