The \libname{libkdb.a} library provides a principal database interface
to be used by the Key Distribution center and other database
manipulation tools.


\begin{funcdecl}{krb5_db_set_name}{krb5_error_code}{\funcin}
\funcarg{char *}{name}
\end{funcdecl}

Set the name of the database to \funcparam{name}.  
%Errors: If it doesn't exist, an error code is returned.

Must be called before \funcname{krb5_db_init} or after
\funcname{krb5_db_fini}; must not be called while db functions are active.

\begin{funcdecl}{krb5_db_set_nonblocking}{krb5_error_code}{\funcin}
\funcarg{krb5_boolean}{newmode}
\funcout
\funcarg{krb5_boolean *}{oldmode}
\end{funcdecl}

Changes the locking mode of the database functions, returning the previous
mode in \funcparam{*oldmode}.

If \funcparam{newmode} is TRUE, then the database is put into
non-blocking mode, which may result in ``database busy'' error codes from
the get, put, and iterate routines.

If \funcparam{newmode} is FALSE, then the database is put into blocking mode,
which may result in delays from the get, put and iterate routines.

The default database mode is blocking mode.

\begin{funcdecl}{krb5_db_init}{krb5_error_code}{\funcvoid}
\end{funcdecl}

Called before using \funcname{krb5_db_get_principal},
\funcname{krb5_db_put_principal}, \funcname{krb5_db_iterate}, and
\funcname{krb5_db_set_nonblocking}.

Does any required initialization.

%Errors: init errors, system errors.

\begin{funcdecl}{krb5_db_fini}{krb5_error_code}{\funcvoid}
\end{funcdecl}

Called after all database operations are complete, to perform any required
clean-up.

%Errors: sysytem errors.


\begin{funcdecl}{krb5_db_get_age}{krb5_error_code}{\funcin}
\funcarg{char *}{db_name}
\funcout
\funcarg{time_t *}{age}
\end{funcdecl}

Retrieves the age of the database \funcname{db_name} (or the current
default database if \funcname{db_name} is NULL).

\funcparam{*age} is filled in in local system time units, and represents
the last modification time of the database.

%Errors: system errors.


\begin{funcdecl}{krb5_db_create}{krb5_error_code}{\funcin}
\funcarg{char *}{db_name}
\end{funcdecl}

Creates a new database named \funcname{db_name}.  Will not create a
database by that name if it already exists.  The database must be
populated by the caller by using \funcname{krb5_db_put_principal}.

%Errors: db exists, system errors.

\begin{funcdecl}{krb5_db_rename}{krb5_error_code}{\funcin}
\funcarg{char *}{source}
\funcarg{char *}{dest}
\end{funcdecl}
Renames the database \funcarg{source} to \funcarg{dest}

Any database named \funcarg{dest} is destroyed.

%Errors: system errors.

\begin{funcdecl}{krb5_db_get_principal}{krb5_error_code}{\funcin}
\funcarg{krb5_principal}{searchfor}
\funcout
\funcarg{krb5_db_entry *}{entries}
\funcinout
\funcarg{int *}{nentries}
\funcout
\funcarg{krb5_boolean *}{more}
\end{funcdecl}

Retrieves the principal records named by \funcparam{searchfor}.

\funcparam{entries} must point to an array of \funcparam{*nentries}
krb5_db_entry structures.
At most \funcparam{*nentries} structures are filled in, and
\funcparam{*nentries} is modified to reflect the number actually returned.

\funcparam{*nentries} must be at least one (1) when this function is called.

\funcparam{*more} is set to TRUE if there are more records that wouldn't fit
in the available space, and FALSE otherwise.

The principal structures filled in have pointers to allocated storage;
\funcname{krb5_db_free_principal} should be called with
\funcparam{entries} and \funcparam{*nentries}
in order to free this storage when no longer needed.


\begin{funcdecl}{krb5_db_free_principal}{void}{\funcin}
\funcarg{krb5_db_entry *}{entries}
\funcarg{int}{nentries}
\end{funcdecl}

Frees allocated storage held by \funcparam{entries} as filled in by
\funcname{krb5_db_get_principal}.


\begin{funcdecl}{krb5_db_put_principal}{krb5_error_code}{\funcin}
\funcarg{krb5_db_entry *}{entries}
\funcarg{int *}{nentries}
\end{funcdecl}

Stores the \funcparam{*nentries} principal structures pointed to by
\funcparam{entries} in the database.

\funcparam{*nentries} is updated upon return to reflect the number of records
acutally stored; the first \funcparam{*nentries} records will have been
stored in the database.

%Errors: Returns error code if not all entries were stored.

\begin{funcdecl}{krb5_db_iterate}{krb5_error_code}{\funcin}
\funcfuncarg{krb5_error_code}{(*func)}
\funcarg{krb5_pointer}{}
\funcarg{krb5_db_entry *}{}
\funcendfuncarg
\funcarg{krb5_pointer}{iterate_arg}
\end{funcdecl}

Iterates over the database, fetching every entry in an unspecified order
and calling \funcparam{(*func)}(\funcparam{iterate_arg},
\funcparam{principal}) where \funcparam{principal} points to a record from the
database.

If \funcparam{(*func)}() ever returns an error code, the iteration
should be
aborted and that error code is returned by this function.

\begin{funcdecl}{krb5_db_store_mkey}{krb5_error_code}{\funcin}
\funcarg{char *}{keyfile}
\funcarg{krb5_principal}{mname}
\funcarg{krb5_keyblock *}{key}
\end{funcdecl}

Put the KDC database master key into the file \funcparam{keyfile}. If
\funcparam{keyfile} is NULL, then a default file name derived from the
principal name \funcparam{mname} is used.

\begin{funcdecl}{krb5_db_fetch_mkey}{krb5_error_code}{\funcin}
\funcarg{krb5_principal}{mname}
\funcarg{krb5_encrypt_block *}{eblock}
\funcarg{krb5_boolean}{fromkeyboard}
\funcarg{krb5_boolean}{twice}
\funcarg{krb5_data }{salt}
\funcinout
\funcarg{krb5_keyblock *}{key}
\end{funcdecl}

Get the KDC database master key from somewhere, filling it into
\funcparam{*key}. 
\funcparam{key{\ptsto}keytype} should be set to the desired key type.

If \funcparam{fromkeyboard} is TRUE, then the master key is read as a password
from the user's terminal.  In this case:
\funcparam{eblock} should point to a block with an appropriate
\funcname{string_to_key} function; if \funcparam{twice} is TRUE, the
password is read twice for verification; and if \funcparam{salt} is
non-NULL, it is used as the salt when converting the typed
password to the master key.


If \funcparam{fromkeyboard} is false, then the key is read from
a file whose name is derived from the principal name \funcparam{mname}.
Therefore, \funcparam{eblock}, \funcparam{twice} and \funcparam{salt}
are ignored.


\funcparam{mname} is the name of the key sought; this is often used by
\funcname{string_to_key} to aid in conversion of the password to a key. 

\begin{funcdecl}{krb5_kdb_encrypt_key}{krb5_error_code}{\funcin}
\funcarg{krb5_encrypt_block *}{eblock}
\funcarg{const krb5_keyblock *}{in}
\funcinout
\funcarg{krb5_encrypted_keyblock *}{out}
\end{funcdecl}

Encrypt a key for storage in the database.  \funcparam{eblock} is used
to encrypt the key in \funcparam{in} into \funcparam{out}; the storage
pointed to by \funcparam{*out} is allocated before use and should be
freed when the caller is finished with it.

\begin{funcdecl}{krb5_kdb_decrypt_key}{krb5_error_code}{\funcin}
\funcarg{krb5_encrypt_block *}{eblock}
\funcarg{const krb5_encrypted_keyblock *}{in}
\funcinout
\funcarg{krb5_keyblock *}{out}
\end{funcdecl}

Decrypt a key from storage in the database.  \funcparam{eblock} is used
to decrypt the key in \funcparam{in} into \funcparam{out}; the storage
pointed to by \funcparam{*out} is allocated before use and should be
freed when the caller is finished with it.

\begin{funcdecl}{krb5_db_setup_mkey_name}{krb5_error_code}{\funcin}
\funcarg{const}{char *keyname}
\funcarg{const}{char *realm}
\funcout
\funcarg{char **}{fullname}
\funcarg{krb5_principal *}{principal}
\end{funcdecl}

Given a key name \funcparam{keyname} and a realm name \funcparam{realm},
construct a principal which can be used to fetch the master key from the
database.  This principal is filled into \funcparam{*principal};
\funcparam{*principal} should be freed by \funcname{krb5_free_principal}
when the caller is finished.

If \funcparam{keyname} is NULL, the default key name will be used.

If \funcparam{fullname} is not NULL, it is set to point to a string
representation of the complete principal name; its storage may be freed
by calling \funcname{free} on \funcparam{*fullname}.
