KRB5_CREDS(3)

NAME
krb5_creds, krb5_copy_creds, krb5_copy_creds_contents, krb5_free_creds, krb5_free_cred_contents - Kerberos 5 credential handling functions

LIBRARY
Kerberos 5 Library (libkrb5, -lkrb5)

SYNOPSIS
#include <krb5.h>
krb5_error_code
krb5_copy_creds(krb5_context context, const krb5_creds *incred, krb5_creds **outcred);
krb5_error_code
krb5_copy_creds_contents(krb5_context context, const krb5_creds *incred, krb5_creds *outcred);
krb5_error_code
krb5_free_creds(krb5_context context, krb5_creds *outcred);
krb5_error_code
krb5_free_cred_contents(krb5_context context, krb5_creds *cred);

DESCRIPTION
krb5_creds holds Kerberos credentials:

    typedef struct krb5_creds {
        krb5_principal	client;
        krb5_principal	server;
        krb5_keyblock	session;
        krb5_times		times;
        krb5_data		ticket;
        krb5_data		second_ticket;
        krb5_authdata	authdata;
        krb5_addresses	addresses;
        krb5_ticket_flags	flags;
    } krb5_creds;

krb5_copy_creds() makes a copy of incred to outcred. outcred should be freed with krb5_free_creds() by the caller.

krb5_copy_creds_contents() makes a copy of the content of incred to outcreds. outcreds should be freed by the called with krb5_free_creds_contents().

krb5_free_creds() frees the content of the cred structure and the structure itself.

krb5_free_cred_contents() frees the content of the cred structure.
