user
The user who owns the ssh authorized keys file to modify
config
The location of the authorized keys file relative to the user's home directory, defaults to ".ssh/known_hosts". If no user is specified, defaults to "/etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts". If present, must be an absolute path when a user is not specified.
salt.states.ssh_known_hosts.present(name, user=None, fingerprint=None, key=None, port=None, enc=None, config=None, hash_hostname=True, hash_known_hosts=True)

Verifies that the specified host is known by the specified user

On many systems, specifically those running with openssh 4 or older, the enc option must be set, only openssh 5 and above can detect the key type.

name

port
optional parameter, port which will be used to when requesting the public key from the remote host, defaults to port 22.
enc
Defines what type of key is being used, can be ed25519, ecdsa ssh-rsa or ssh-dss
