PUBLICKEY(3)           FreeBSD Library Functions Manual           PUBLICKEY(3)

NAME
     publickey, getpublickey, getsecretkey - get public or secret key

LIBRARY
     RPC Service Library (librpcsvc, -lrpcsvc)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <rpc/rpc.h>
     #include <rpc/key_prot.h>

     int
     getpublickey(const char netname[MAXNETNAMELEN+1],
         char publickey[HEXKEYBYTES+1]);

     int
     getsecretkey(char netname[MAXNETNAMELEN+1],
         char secretkey[HEXKEYBYTES+1], char *passwd);

DESCRIPTION
     These routines are used to get public and secret keys from the YP
     database.  The getsecretkey() function has an extra argument, passwd,
     which is used to decrypt the encrypted secret key stored in the database.
     Both routines return 1 if they are successful in finding the key, 0
     otherwise.  The keys are returned as NUL-terminated, hexadecimal strings.
     If the password supplied to getsecretkey() fails to decrypt the secret
     key, the routine will return 1 but the secretkey argument will be a NUL
     string ("").
