NAME

Crypt::OpenPGP::Marker - PGP Marker packet

SYNOPSIS

     use Crypt::OpenPGP::Marker;
     my $marker = Crypt::OpenPGP::Marker->parse($buffer);
 
 

DESCRIPTION

Crypt::OpenPGP::Marker is a PGP Marker packet. These packets are used by PGP 5.x to signal to earlier versions of PGP (eg. 2.6.x) that the message requires newer software to be read and understood.

The contents of the Marker packet are always the same: the three octets 0x50, 0x47, and 0x50 (which spell "PGP").

It is very likely that you will never have to use a Marker packet directly.
