===================
NAME
----
zmq_curve_public - derive the public key from a private key
SYNOPSIS
--------
*int zmq_curve_public (char *z85_public_key, char *z85_secret_key);*
DESCRIPTION
-----------
The _zmq_curve_public()_ function shall derive the public key from a
private key. The caller provides two buffers, each at least 41 octets
large. In z85_secret_key the caller shall provide the private key, and
the function will store the public key in z85_public_key. The keys are
encoded using linkzmq:zmq_z85_encode[3].
RETURN VALUE
------------
The _zmq_curve_public()_ 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
-------
.Deriving the public key from a CURVE private key
----
char public_key [41];
char secret_key [41];
int rc = zmq_curve_keypair (public_key, secret_key);
assert (rc == 0);
char derived_public[41];
rc = zmq_curve_public (derived_public, secret_key);
assert (rc == 0);
assert (!strcmp (derived_public, public_key));
