NAME

File::KDBX::Key::File - A file key

VERSION

version 0.906

SYNOPSIS

    use File::KDBX::Constants qw(:key_file);
    use File::KDBX::Key::File;
    ### Create a key file:
    my $key = File::KDBX::Key::File->new(
        filepath    => 'path/to/file.keyx',
        type        => KEY_FILE_TYPE_XML,   # optional
        version     => 2,                   # optional
        raw_key     => $raw_key,            # optional - leave undefined to generate a random key
    );
    $key->save;
    ### Use a key file:
    my $key2 = File::KDBX::Key::File->new('path/to/file.keyx');
    # OR
    my $key2 = File::KDBX::Key::File->new(\$secret);
    # OR
    my $key2 = File::KDBX::Key::File->new($fh); # or *IO

DESCRIPTION

A file key (or "key file") is the type of key where the secret is a file. The secret is either the file contents or is generated based on the file contents. In order to lock and unlock a KDBX database with a key file, the same file must be presented. The database cannot be opened without the file.

Inherets methods and attributes from File::KDBX::Key.

There are multiple types of key files supported. See "type". This module can read and write key files.

    $key = $key->load($filepath);
    $key = $key->load(\$string);
    $key = $key->load($fh);
    $key = $key->load(*IO);

Load a key file.
