# NAME

`krb5_creds`, `krb5_copy_creds`, `krb5_copy_creds_contents`, `krb5_free_creds`, `krb5_free_cred_contents` —
Kerberos 5 credential handling functions

# LIBRARY

# SYNOPSIS

`#include <krb5/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

# 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.
