ZMQ_CURVE_KEYPAIR(3)		   0MQ Manual		    ZMQ_CURVE_KEYPAIR(3)

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 key-
     pair  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 (lib-
	 sodium).

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);
