publickey(3N)

NAME
     publickey: getpublickey, getsecretkey - retrieve public or secret key

SYNOPSIS
     #include <rpc/rpc.h>
     #include <rpc/key_prot.h>
     getpublickey(const char netname[MAXNETNAMELEN],
          char publickey[HEXKEYBYTES]);
     getsecretkey(const char netname[MAXNETNAMELEN],
          char secretkey[HEXKEYBYTES], const char *passwd);

DESCRIPTION
     getpublickey and getsecretkey get public and secret keys for netname from
     the publickey(4) database.

     getsecretkey has an extra argument, passwd, 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 NULL-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 NULL string.

NOTE
     These routines are not supported, and no actual encryption or decryption
     is done.
