LoadKeyring Method

Loads the keyring from disk.

Syntax

keymgr.loadKeyring(keyringPath, [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

This method loads the keyring from disk. If the keyring is stored in a directory, set KeyringPath to the directory. The directory must contain the files "secring.gpg" and "pubring.gpg". A keyring may also be stored in a single file. If the keyring is a file KeyringPath should be set to the path of the file.

When this method is called the class will read the keyring and populate the Key property with the first key found in the keyring. Set KeyUserId to select a different key in the current keyring.
