Involved Source Files Package pem implements the PEM data encoding, which originated in Privacy Enhanced Mail. The most common use of PEM encoding today is in TLS keys and certificates. See RFC 1421.

Package-Level Type Names (total 2, in which 1 are exported)
/* sort exporteds by: | */
A Block represents a PEM encoded structure. The encoded form is: -----BEGIN Type----- Headers base64-encoded Bytes -----END Type----- where Headers is a possibly empty sequence of Key: Value lines. // The decoded bytes of the contents. Typically a DER encoded ASN.1 structure. // Optional headers. // The type, taken from the preamble (i.e. "RSA PRIVATE KEY"). func Decode(data []byte) (p *Block, rest []byte) func crypto/x509.EncryptPEMBlock(rand io.Reader, blockType string, data, password []byte, alg x509.PEMCipher) (*Block, error) func Encode(out io.Writer, b *Block) error func EncodeToMemory(b *Block) []byte func crypto/x509.DecryptPEMBlock(b *Block, password []byte) ([]byte, error) func crypto/x509.IsEncryptedPEMBlock(b *Block) bool
Package-Level Functions (total 7, in which 3 are exported)
Decode will find the next PEM formatted block (certificate, private key etc) in the input. It returns that block and the remainder of the input. If no PEM data is found, p is nil and the whole of the input is returned in rest.
Encode writes the PEM encoding of b to out.
EncodeToMemory returns the PEM encoding of b. If b has invalid headers and cannot be encoded, EncodeToMemory returns nil. If it is important to report details about this error case, use Encode instead.
