Package pem
import "encoding/pem"
This package 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.

pem.gofunc Encode
func Encode(out io.Writer, b *Block) (err os.Error)
func EncodeToMemory
func EncodeToMemory(b *Block) []byte
type Block
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.
type Block struct {
Type string // The type, taken from the preamble (i.e. "RSA PRIVATE KEY").
Headers map[string]string // Optional headers.
Bytes []byte // The decoded bytes of the contents. Typically a DER encoded ASN.1 structure.
}
func Decode
func Decode(data []byte) (p *Block, rest []byte)
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.
