+.SH "NAME"
+zmq_z85_encode \- encode a binary key as Z85 printable text
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.sp
+\fBchar *zmq_z85_encode (char *dest, uint8_t *data, size_t size);\fR
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.sp
+The \fIzmq_z85_encode()\fR function shall encode the binary block specified by \fIdata\fR and \fIsize\fR into a string in \fIdest\fR\&. The size of the binary block must be divisible by 4\&. The \fIdest\fR must have sufficient space for size * 1\&.25 plus 1 for a null terminator\&. A 32\-byte CURVE key is encoded as 40 ASCII characters plus a null terminator\&.
+.sp
+The encoding shall follow the ZMQ RFC 32 specification\&.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+.sp
+The \fIzmq_z85_encode()\fR function shall return \fIdest\fR if successful, else it shall return NULL\&.
