LIBRARY
Kerberos 5 Library (libkrb5, -lkrb5)
SYNOPSIS
#include <krb5.h>
DESCRIPTION
The krb5_context structure is designed to hold all per thread state. All
global variables that are context specific are stored in this structure,
including default encryption types, credentials-cache (ticket file), and
default realms.
The internals of the structure should never be accessed directly, func‐
tions exist for extracting information.
