If you're being provided with a id_rsa.pub file (presumably from a .ssh configuration directory) you will very likely be performing ssh operations, which are ideally left up to the ssh library to perform.
If you have a very exotic usecase an know what you are doing, the ssh package uses the crypto.rsa package internally to parse the ssh keyfiles, so just have a look at the implementation there: https://github.com/golang/crypto/blob/master/ssh/keys.go#L262 Good Luck! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
