Introduction

libkeepass is a C++11 library for importing and exporting KeePass password databases. It supports importing and exporting from/to both the legacy KDB format, as well as the new KDBX format.

Building

The following 3rd party libraries are required to build libkeepass:

• OpenSSL
• zlib

For running the unit tests googletest is also required.

To build, simply do the following:

make -j8

to run the unit tests, do the following:

make test

Using

The main library entry points are the KdbFile and KdbxFile classes. They take care of both importing and exporting.

Example:

keepass::Key key("password");

keepass::KdbxFile file;
std::unique_ptr<keepass::Database> db = file.Import("in.kdbx", key);

// Do some operations using the database object.

file.Export("out.kdbx", *db.get(), key);
