(Go) Load an Ed25519 Private Key from Hex

Demonstrates how to load an Ed25519 private key from raw hex bytes.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.83 or greater.

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

    privKey := chilkat.NewPrivateKey()

    // We have the hexidecimal encoded bytes of the private key and public key:
    var privKeyHex *string = new(string)
    *privKeyHex = "d4ee72dbf913584ad5b6d8f1f769f8ad3afe7c28cbf1d4fbe097a88f44755842"
    pubKeyHex := "19bf44096984cdfe8541bac167dc3b96c85086aa30b6b6cb0c5c38ad703166e1"

    // Load these values into the Chilkat private key object:
    success := privKey.LoadEd25519(*privKeyHex,pubKeyHex)
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(privKey.LastErrorText())
        privKey.DisposePrivateKey()
        return
    }

    // ---------------------------------------------------------------
    // We don't actually need the public key.  If we pass an empty string for the public key,
    // Chilkat will automatically compute it.
    privKey2 := chilkat.NewPrivateKey()
    success = privKey2.LoadEd25519(*privKeyHex,"")

    // Let's get the public key to see that it computed the same value.
    sbPubKeyHex := chilkat.NewStringBuilder()
    privKeyHex = privKey2.GetRawHex(sbPubKeyHex)
    fmt.Println("computed public key = ", *sbPubKeyHex.GetAsString())

    // The output should be:
    // computed public key = 19bf44096984cdfe8541bac167dc3b96c85086aa30b6b6cb0c5c38ad703166e1

    privKey.DisposePrivateKey()
    privKey2.DisposePrivateKey()
    sbPubKeyHex.DisposeStringBuilder()
