Parent: | Object |
This class implements a simple client for the ssh-agent protocol. It does not implement any specific protocol, but instead copies the behavior of the ssh-agent functions in the OpenSSH library (3.8).
This means that although it behaves like a SSH1 client, it also has some SSH2 functionality (like signing data).

socket | [R] | The underlying socket being used to communicate with the SSH agent. |
Connect to the agent process using the socket factory and socket name given by the attribute writers. If the agent on the other end of the socket reports that it is an SSH2-compatible agent, this will fail (it only supports the ssh-agent distributed by OpenSSH).
Return an array of all identities (public keys) known to the agent. Each key returned is augmented with a comment property which is set to the comment returned by the agent for that key.
Attempts to negotiate the SSH agent protocol version. Raises an error if the version could not be negotiated successfully.
Using the agent and the given public key, sign the given data. The signature is returned in SSH2 format.
