Functions

func Add

func Add(ui ui.Ui, privateKeyPath string) error

Add takes the path of a private key and runs ssh-add locally to add it to the agent. It needs a Ui to be able to interact with the user for the password prompt.

func HasKey

func HasKey(publicKey string) (bool, error)

HasKey determines if a given public key (provided as a string with the contents of a public key file), is loaded into the local SSH Agent.

func ListKeys

func ListKeys() ([]*agent.Key, error)

ListKeys connects to the local SSH Agent and lists all the public keys loaded into it. It returns user friendly error message when it has trouble.
