AddSubkey Method
Adds a new subkey to the Key.
Syntax
pgpkeymanager.addSubkey(bits, algorithm, expires, [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
Use this method to add a subkey to a key. Note that the key you are adding the subkey to needs to contain its secret counterpart to be able to sign the new subkey.
Bits specifies the number of bits in the new subkey, Expires is the new subkey's expiration time and date, and Algorithm specifies its public key algorithm:
