+These routines are used to get public and secret keys from the

+function

+which is used to decrypt the encrypted secret key stored in the database.
+Both routines return 1 if they are successful in finding the key, 0 otherwise.
+The keys are returned as
+.Dv NULL Ns \-terminated ,
+hexadecimal strings.
+If the password supplied to
+.Fn getsecretkey
+fails to decrypt the secret key, the routine will return 1 but the
+.Fa secretkey
+argument will be a
+.Dv NULL
+string
