SYNOPSIS

#include <krb5.h>

void
krb5_appdefault_boolean(krb5_context context, const char *appname,
    krb5_realm realm, const char *option, krb5_boolean def_val,
    krb5_boolean *ret_val);

void
krb5_appdefault_string(krb5_context context, const char *appname,
    krb5_realm realm, const char *option, const char *def_val,
    char **ret_val);

void
krb5_appdefault_time(krb5_context context, const char *appname,
    krb5_realm realm, const char *option, time_t def_val,
    time_t *ret_val);

DESCRIPTION

These functions get application defaults from the appdefaults section of the krb5.conf(5) configuration file. These defaults can be specified per application, and/or per realm.

These values will be looked for in krb5.conf(5), in order of descending
importance.

[appdefaults]

appname = {

realm = {

option = value

}

}
appname = {

option = value

}
realm = {

option = value

}
option = value

appname is the name of the application, and realm is the realm name. If the realm is omitted it will not be used for resolving values. def_val is the value to return if no value is found in krb5.conf(5).
