.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn krb5_init_context
function initializes the
.Fa context
structure and reads the configuration file
.Pa /etc/krb5.conf .
.Pp
The structure should be freed by calling
.Fn krb5_free_context
when it is no longer being used.
.Pp
.Fn krb5_init_context
returns 0 to indicate success.
Otherwise an errno code is returned.
Failure means either that something bad happened during initialization
(typically
.Bq ENOMEM )
or that Kerberos should not be used
.Bq ENXIO .
.Pp
.Fn krb5_init_ets
adds all
.Xr com_err 3
libs to
.Fa context .
This is done by
.Fn krb5_init_context .
.Pp
.Fn krb5_add_et_list
adds a
.Xr com_err 3
error-code handler
.Fa func
to the specified
.Fa context .
The error handler must generated by the the re-rentrant version of the
.Xr compile_et 1
program.
.Fn krb5_add_extra_addresses
add a list of addresses that should be added when requesting tickets.
.Pp
.Fn krb5_add_ignore_addresses
add a list of addresses that should be ignored when requesting tickets.
.Pp
.Fn krb5_get_extra_addresses
get the list of addresses that should be added when requesting tickets.
.Pp
.Fn krb5_get_ignore_addresses
get the list of addresses that should be ignored when requesting tickets.
.Pp
.Fn krb5_set_ignore_addresses
set the list of addresses that should be ignored when requesting tickets.
.Pp
.Fn krb5_set_extra_addresses
set the list of addresses that should be added when requesting tickets.
.Pp
.Fn krb5_set_fcache_version
sets the version of file credentials caches that should be used.
.Pp
.Fn krb5_get_fcache_version
gets the version of file credentials caches that should be used.
.Pp
.Fn krb5_set_dns_canonize_hostname
sets if the context is configured to canonicalize hostnames using DNS.
.Pp
.Fn krb5_get_dns_canonize_hostname
returns if the context is configured to canonicalize hostnames using DNS.
.Pp
.Fn krb5_get_kdc_sec_offset
returns the offset between the localtime and the KDC's time.
.Fa sec
and
.Fa usec
are both optional argument and
.Dv NULL
can be passed in.
.Pp
.Fn krb5_set_config_files
set the list of configuration files to use and re-initialize the
configuration from the files.
.Pp
.Fn krb5_prepend_config_files
parse the
.Fa filelist
and prepend the result to the already existing list
.Fa pq
The result is returned in
.Fa ret_pp
and should be freed with
.Fn krb5_free_config_files .
.Pp
.Fn krb5_prepend_config_files_default
parse the
.Fa filelist
and append that to the default
list of configuration files.
.Pp
.Fn krb5_get_default_config_files
get a list of default configuration files.
.Pp
.Fn krb5_free_config_files
free a list of configuration files returned by
.Fn krb5_get_default_config_files ,
.Fn krb5_prepend_config_files_default ,
or
.Fn krb5_prepend_config_files .
.Pp
.Fn krb5_set_use_admin_kdc
sets if all KDC requests should go admin KDC.
.Pp
.Fn krb5_get_use_admin_kdc
gets if all KDC requests should go admin KDC.
.Pp
.Fn krb5_get_max_time_skew
and
.Fn krb5_set_max_time_skew
get and sets the maximum allowed time skew between client and server.
