void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    CkString strOut;

    // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    // A private key, regardless of type or format (RSA, EC, DSA, Ed25519) can be loaded by
    // calling LoadAnyFormat or LoadAnyFormatFile.

    // Likewise, a public key, regardless of type or format can be loaded by calling
    // LoadFromFile or LoadBd.

    // For example:
    CkPrivateKey privKey;

    // Pass an empty password if not needed.
    const char *password = "";
    bool success = privKey.LoadAnyFormatFile("qa_data/eddsa/ed25519.pem",password);

    // For example, an encrypted PKCS8 key of any type (Ed25519, RSA, EC, etc.)
    password = "secret";
    success = privKey.LoadAnyFormatFile("qa_data/rsa/pkcs8.key",password);

    // The same for public keys..
    // (public keys never have nor need passwords)
    CkPublicKey pubKey;
    success = pubKey.LoadFromFile("qa_data/pubkeys/pubkey_pkcs1.der");
