krb5_krbhst_get_addrinfo(3)

NAME

     krb5_krbhst_init, krb5_krbhst_next, krb5_krbhst_next_as_string,
     krb5_krbhst_reset, krb5_krbhst_free, krb5_krbhst_format_string,
     krb5_krbhst_get_addrinfo -- lookup Kerberos KDC hosts


LIBRARY

     Kerberos 5 Library (libkrb5, -lkrb5)


SYNOPSIS

     #include <krb5.h>

     krb5_error_code
     krb5_krbhst_init(krb5_context context, const char *realm,
	 unsigned int type, krb5_krbhst_handle *handle);

     krb5_error_code
     krb5_krbhst_next(krb5_context context, krb5_krbhst_handle handle,
	 krb5_krbhst_info **host);

     krb5_error_code
     krb5_krbhst_next_as_string(krb5_context context,
	 krb5_krbhst_handle handle, char *hostname, size_t hostlen);

     void
     krb5_krbhst_reset(krb5_context context, krb5_krbhst_handle handle);

     void
     krb5_krbhst_free(krb5_context context, krb5_krbhst_handle handle);

     krb5_error_code
     krb5_krbhst_format_string(krb5_context context,
	 const krb5_krbhst_info *host, char *hostname, size_t hostlen);

     krb5_error_code
     krb5_krbhst_get_addrinfo(krb5_context context, krb5_krbhst_info *host,
	 struct addrinfo **ai);


DESCRIPTION

     These functions are used to sequence through all Kerberos hosts of a par-
     ticular realm and service. The service type can be the KDCs, the adminis-
     trative servers, the password changing servers, or the servers for Ker-
     beros 4 ticket conversion.

     First a handle to a particular service is obtained by calling
     krb5_krbhst_init() with the realm of interest and the type of service to
     lookup. The type can be one of:

	   KRB5_KRBHST_KDC
	   KRB5_KRBHST_ADMIN
	   KRB5_KRBHST_CHANGEPW
	   KRB5_KRBHST_KRB524

     The handle is returned to the caller, and should be passed to the other
     functions.

     For each call to krb5_krbhst_next() information a new host is returned.
     The former function returns in host a pointer to a structure containing
	       struct krb5_krbhst_info *next;
	       char hostname[1];
	   } krb5_krbhst_info;

     The related function, krb5_krbhst_next_as_string(), return the same
     information as a url-like string.

     When there are no more hosts, these functions return KRB5_KDC_UNREACH.

     To re-iterate over all hosts, call krb5_krbhst_reset() and the next call
     to krb5_krbhst_next() will return the first host.

     When done with the handle, krb5_krbhst_free() should be called.

     To use a krb5_krbhst_info, there are two functions:
     krb5_krbhst_format_string() that will return a printable representation
     of that struct and krb5_krbhst_get_addrinfo() that will return a struct
     addrinfo that can then be used for communicating with the server men-
     tioned.


EXAMPLE

     The following code will print the KDCs of the realm ``MY.REALM''.

	   krb5_krbhst_handle handle;
	   char host[MAXHOSTNAMELEN];
	   krb5_krbhst_init(context, "MY.REALM", KRB5_KRBHST_KDC, &handle);
	   while(krb5_krbhst_next_as_string(context, handle,
					    host, sizeof(host)) == 0)
	       printf("%s\n", host);
	   krb5_krbhst_free(context, handle);


HISTORY

     These functions first appeared in Heimdal 0.3g.
