loading a private rsa key with libgcrypt

Hi,

i have a project in which a private rsa key has to used in order to sign
a string. I would like to use libgcrypt.
After reading the documentation i have found the procedure
"gcry_ac_key_init". Unfortunaltely i can not find out how to prepare a
private rsa-key-file (file.pem) in a way usable for that function.

Is there any documentation or example code which shows how to load a pem
file and transform it into a suitable data set?

Regards

as you probably have noticed yourself already: Libgcrypt does not
contain code for handling PEM blobs. I guess you could extract
appropriate code from other crypto tools, able of parsing PEM.

checkout gnupg 1.9: agent/protect-tool.c as similar code.
