\title{Export key or certificate}
\usage{
write_pem(x, path = NULL, password = NULL)
write_der(x, path = NULL)
write_pkcs1(x, path = NULL, password = NULL)
write_ssh(pubkey, path = NULL)
}
\arguments{
\item{x}{a public/private key or certificate object}
\item{path}{file to write to. If \code{NULL} it returns the output as a string.}
\item{password}{string or callback function to set password (only applicable for
private keys).}
\item{pubkey}{a public key}
}
\description{
The \code{write_pem} functions exports a key or certificate to the standard
base64 PEM format. For private keys it is possible to set a password.
}
\details{
The pkcs1 format is a legacy format which only supports RSA keys and should
not be used anymore. It is only provided for compatibility with some old SSH
clients. Simply use \code{write_pem} to export keys and certs to the recommended
format.
}
\examples{
# Generate RSA keypair
key <- rsa_keygen()
pubkey <- key$pubkey
# Write to output formats
write_ssh(pubkey)
write_pem(pubkey)
write_pem(key, password = "super secret")
}
