Generates a fingerprint for an SSH key. C

    BOOL success;
    HCkSshKey key;
    const char *keyStr;
    const char *fingerprint;

    success = FALSE;

    key = CkSshKey_Create();

    // Load an SSH key from an encrypted OpenSSH-formatted private key:
    CkSshKey_putPassword(key,"secret");

    // First load the PEM into a string:
    keyStr = CkSshKey_loadText(key,"privkey_openssh_encrypted.pem");

    // Import into the SSH key object:
    success = CkSshKey_FromOpenSshPrivateKey(key,keyStr);
    if (success != TRUE) {
        printf("%s\n",CkSshKey_lastErrorText(key));

    printf("%s\n",fingerprint);

    // A sample fingerpring looks like this:
