 Although [golang.org/x/crypto/ssh/knownhosts](https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/crypto/ssh/knownhosts) doesn't directly expose a way to query its known_host map, we use a subtle trick to do so: invoke the HostKeyCallback with a valid host but a bogus key. The resulting KeyError allows us to determine which public keys are actually present for that host.
 
-By using this technique, [github.com/skeema/knownhosts](https://github.com/skeema/knownhosts) doesn't need to duplicate or re-implement any of the actual known_hosts management from [golang.org/x/crypto/ssh/knownhosts](https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/crypto/ssh/knownhosts).
