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

    //  We first generate a key like this:

    //      ssh-keygen -f stg.chilkat.id
    //      Generating public/private rsa key pair.
    //      Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
    //      Enter same passphrase again:
    //      Your identification has been saved in stg.chilkat.id.
    //      Your public key has been saved in stg.chilkat.id.pub.
    //      The key fingerprint is:
    //      SHA256:hkbgexkspxYTa8rYUxouRU8Gi7lbbsT6dSLX+JlStKk me@example02240
    //      The key's randomart image is:
    //      +---[RSA 2048]----+
    //      |  o.=            |
    //      | + * =           |
    //      |o + X =          |
    //      | O * O.+         |
    //      |+ @ +.=oS        |
    //      | A o =+.         |
    //      |o + =oo          |
    //      | o +E+ o         |
    //      |  .  .+          |
    //      +----[SHA256]-----+

    //  

    //  The public key (generated to the file stg.chilkat.id.pub) contains this:
    //  ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABA.. FDt+dKJEkhw8I7LpEi17diB9 me@example02240

    //  First let's load the public key:
    CkSshKeyW pubkey;

    success = pubkey.FromOpenSshPublicKey(pubkey.loadText(L"qa_data/sshKeys/ssh-keygen/stg.chilkat.id.pub"));
    if (success == false) {
        wprintf(L"%s\n",pubkey.lastErrorText());
        return;
    }

    wprintf(L"%s\n",pubkey.lastErrorText());
    wprintf(L"Successfully loaded the public key.\n");
