Method Details

### from_line(cls, line) Class Method | source code

Lines are expected to not have leading or trailing whitespace. We don't bother to check for comments or empty lines. All of that should be taken care of before sending the line to us. Parameters: `line` (str) - a line from an OpenSSH known_hosts file

### to_line(self) | source code
Returns a string in OpenSSH known_hosts file format, or None if the object is not in a valid state. A trailing newline is included.
