.TH KEYSET 2
.SH NAME
keyset \- find authentication keys matching a signer
.SH SYNOPSIS
.EX
include "keyset.m";
keyset := load Keyset Keyset->PATH;
init: fn(): string;
keysforsigner: fn(signername: string, spkthumb: string,
user: string, dir: string):
(list of (string, string, string), string);
pkhash: fn(pk: string): string;

.SH DESCRIPTION
.B Keyset
looks through a set of certified public keys
to find one or more keys that have were certified by a given signer.
.PP
.B Init
must be called before any other function in the module.
It returns nil on success or a diagnostic string on failure.
.PP
.B Keysforsigner
looks for public keys that satisfy given conditions:
.I signername
is either the name of a signer or nil (don't care);
.I spkthumb
is either a thumbprint of the signer's public key (as produced by
.BR pkhash ,
below), or nil (don't care).
.I User
is the name of the user that owns the set of keys; if it is nil,
the user's name is read from
.BR /dev/user .
.I Dir
is the name of the directory holding a collection of the
.IR user 's
signed keys as obtained for instance using
.IR getauthinfo (8);
if it is nil, the directory
.BI /usr/ user /keyring
is used by default.
Only signed (certified) unexpired keys are considered.
.B Keysforsigner
returns a tuple
.BI ( keys , err ).
.I Keys
is list of tuples
.BI ( keyfile\fB,\fP\ owner\fB,\fP\ signername )
where
.I keyfile
is the full name of a file in
.I dir
that holds an apparently suitable key;
.I owner
is the name of the key's owner; and
.I signername
is the name of the signer in the certificate attached to the key.
The list is nil if no keys could be found that matched the criteria.
On an error,
.I err
is non-nil and gives a diagnostic.
.PP
.B Pkhash
returns the hexadecimal representation of the SHA-1 hash of public key
.IR pk ,
which must be in the canonical textual form produced by
.B Keyring->pktostr
(see
.IR keyring-certtostr (2)).
