class documentation

class PlainEntry(_BaseEntry): (source)

A PlainEntry is a representation of a plain-text entry in a known_hosts file.

Class Method	`fromString`	Parse a plain-text entry in a known_hosts file, and return a corresponding `PlainEntry`.
Method	`__init__`	Undocumented
Method	`matchesHost`	Check to see if this entry matches a given hostname.
Method	`toString`	Implement `IKnownHostEntry.toString` by recording the comma-separated hostnames, key type, and base-64 encoded key.
Instance Variable	`_hostnames`	the list of all host-names associated with this entry.

Inherited from _BaseEntry:

Method	`matchesKey`	Check to see if this entry matches a given key object.
Instance Variable	`comment`	Trailing garbage after the key line.
Instance Variable	`keyType`	The type of the key; either ssh-dss or ssh-rsa.
Instance Variable	`publicKey`	The server public key indicated by this line.

@classmethod
def fromString(cls, string: bytes) -> PlainEntry: (source) ¶

Parse a plain-text entry in a known_hosts file, and return a corresponding PlainEntry.

Parameters
string:`bytes`	a space-separated string formatted like "hostname key-type base64-key-data comment".
Returns
`PlainEntry`	an IKnownHostEntry representing the hostname and key in the input line.
Raises
`DecodeError`	if the key is not valid encoded as valid base64.
`InvalidEntry`	if the entry does not have the right number of elements and is therefore invalid.
`BadKeyError`	if the key, once decoded from base64, is not actually an SSH key.

def __init__(self, hostnames: list[bytes], keyType: bytes, publicKey: Key, comment: bytes): (source) ¶

overrides twisted.conch.client.knownhosts._BaseEntry.__init__

def matchesHost(self, hostname: bytes|str) -> bool: (source) ¶

from twisted.conch.interfaces.IKnownHostEntry

Check to see if this entry matches a given hostname.

Parameters
hostname:`bytes\|str`	A hostname or IP address literal to check against this entry.
Returns
`bool`	`True` if this entry is for the given hostname or IP address, `False` otherwise.

def toString(self) -> bytes: (source) ¶

from twisted.conch.interfaces.IKnownHostEntry

Implement IKnownHostEntry.toString by recording the comma-separated hostnames, key type, and base-64 encoded key.

Returns
`bytes`	The string representation of this entry, with unhashed hostname information.

the list of all host-names associated with this entry.
