krb5_init_context(3)
NAME
krb5_init_context, krb5_free_context -- create and delete krb5_context structures
LIBRARY
Kerberos 5 Library (libkrb5, -lkrb5)
SYNOPSIS
#include <krb5.h> krb5_error_code krb5_init_context(krb5_context *context); void krb5_free_context(krb5_context context);
DESCRIPTION
The krb5_init_context() function initializes the context structure and reads the configuration file /etc/krb5.conf. The structure should be freed by calling krb5_free_context() when it is no longer being used.
RETURN VALUES
krb5_init_context() returns 0 to indicate success. Otherwise an errno code is returned. Failure means either that something bad happened dur- ing initialization (typically [ENOMEM]) or that Kerberos should not be used [ENXIO].
