== NAME
zmq_curve_keypair - generate a new CURVE keypair
== SYNOPSIS
*int zmq_curve_keypair (char *z85_public_key, char *z85_secret_key);*
== DESCRIPTION
The _zmq_curve_keypair()_ function shall return a newly generated random
keypair consisting of a public key and a secret key. The caller provides
two buffers, each at least 41 octets large, in which this method will
store the keys. The keys are encoded using xref:zmq_z85_encode.adoc[zmq_z85_encode].
== RETURN VALUE
The _zmq_curve_keypair()_ function shall return 0 if successful, else it
shall return `-1` and set 'errno' to one of the values defined below.
== ERRORS
*ENOTSUP*::
The libzmq library was not built with cryptographic support (libsodium).
== EXAMPLE
.Generating a new CURVE keypair
----
char public_key [41];
char secret_key [41];
int rc = zmq_curve_keypair (public_key, secret_key);
assert (rc == 0);
