ZMQ_CURVE_PUBLIC(3)		   0MQ Manual		     ZMQ_CURVE_PUBLIC(3)

NAME
     zmq_curve_public - derive the public key from a private key

SYNOPSIS
     int zmq_curve_public (char *z85_public_key, char *z85_secret_key);

DESCRIPTION
     The  zmq_curve_public() function shall derive the public key from a private
     key. The caller provides two buffers, each at least  41  octets  large.  In
     z85_secret_key  the  caller shall provide the private key, and the function
     will store the public key in z85_public_key. The  keys  are  encoded  using
     zmq_z85_encode(3).

RETURN VALUE
     The zmq_curve_public() 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
     Deriving the public key from a CURVE private key.

	 char public_key [41];
	 char secret_key [41];
	 int rc = zmq_curve_keypair (public_key, secret_key);
	 assert (rc == 0);
	 char derived_public[41];
	 rc = zmq_curve_public (derived_public, secret_key);
	 assert (rc == 0);
	 assert (!strcmp (derived_public, public_key));
