Generate Method
Generates a new single PGP key.
Syntax
pgpkeymanager.generate([callback])
Callback
The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).
The callback for this method is defined as:
function(err){ }
'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.
'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:
err.code err.message
Remarks
Call this method after setting up relevant fields of Key to generate a new PGP key. This method generates a 'standalone' key without subkeys. Use GeneratePair to generate a pair of a main key and a subkey.
Most PGP implementations work with pairs of keys: the sign-only primary key and the encrypt-only (or encrypt-and-sign) subkey. If you need to generate a conformant PGP key to use with other PGP software, you likely need to use the GeneratePair method.
