Detailed Description

An RSA public key or public/private key pair that can be used for encryption.

Knows how to encode/decode itself into a string of hex digits for easy transport.

	Retrieve the public or private key in PEM encoded format.
virtual int	geterr () const
	If isok() is false, return the system error number corresponding to the error, -1 for a special error string (which you can obtain with errstr()) or 0 on end of file.

Member Function Documentation

bool WvRSAKey::isok (   )  const [virtual]

By default, returns true if geterr() == 0. Might be overridden so that isok() == false even though no error code has been specified. Reimplemented from WvErrorBase.

virtual int WvErrorBase::geterr (   )  const [inline, virtual, inherited]

If isok() is false, return the system error number corresponding to the error, -1 for a special error string (which you can obtain with errstr()) or 0 on end of file. If isok() is true, returns an undefined number. Reimplemented in WvX509Mgr.

void WvErrorBase::seterr (  int  _errnum  )  [virtual, inherited]

Set the errnum variable -- we have an error. If called more than once, seterr() doesn't change the error code away from the previous one. That way, we remember the _original_ cause of our problems. Subclasses may want to override seterr(int) to shut themselves down (eg. WvStream::close()) when an error condition is set. Note that seterr(WvString) will call seterr(-1).
