NAME

     krb5_appdefault_boolean, krb5_appdefault_string, krb5_appdefault_time -
     get application configuration value

LIBRARY

SYNOPSIS

     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).
