+.SH "NAME"
+zmq_curve_keypair \- generate a new CURVE keypair
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.sp
+\fBint zmq_curve_keypair (char *z85_public_key, char *z85_secret_key);\fR
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.sp
+The \fIzmq_curve_keypair()\fR function shall return a newly generated random keypair consisting of a public key and a secret key\&. The caller provides two buffers, each at least 41 octets large, in which this method will store the keys\&. The keys are encoded using \fBzmq_z85_encode\fR(3)\&.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+.sp
+The \fIzmq_curve_keypair()\fR function shall return 0 if successful, else it shall return \-1 and set \fIerrno\fR to one of the values defined below\&.
+.SH "ERRORS"
+.PP
+\fBENOTSUP\fR
+.RS 4
+The libzmq library was not built with cryptographic support (libsodium)\&.
