# NAME

`krb5_get_krbhst`, `krb5_get_krb_admin_hst`, `krb5_get_krb_changepw_hst`, `krb5_get_krb524hst`, `krb5_free_krbhst` —
lookup Kerberos KDC hosts

# LIBRARY

Kerberos 5 Library (libkrb5, -lkrb5)

# SYNOPSIS

`#include <krb5/krb5.h>`

krb5_error_code
`krb5_get_krbhst`(krb5_context context, const krb5_realm *realm, char ***hostlist);

krb5_error_code
`krb5_get_krb_admin_hst`(krb5_context context, const krb5_realm *realm, char ***hostlist);

krb5_error_code
`krb5_get_krb_changepw_hst`(krb5_context context, const krb5_realm *realm, char ***hostlist);

krb5_error_code
`krb5_get_krb524hst`(krb5_context context, const krb5_realm *realm, char ***hostlist);

krb5_error_code
`krb5_free_krbhst`(krb5_context context, char **hostlist);

# DESCRIPTION

These functions implement the old API to get a list of Kerberos hosts, and are thus similar to the `krb5_krbhst_init`() functions. However, since these functions returns all hosts in one go, they potentially have to do more lookups than necessary. These functions remain for compatibility reasons.

After a call to one of these functions, hostlist is a `NULL` terminated list of strings, pointing to the requested Kerberos hosts. These should be freed with `krb5_free_krbhst`() when done with.

# EXAMPLES

The following code will print the KDCs of the realm “MY.REALM”.

    char **hosts, **p;
    krb5_get_krbhst(context, "MY.REALM", &hosts);
    for(p = hosts; *p; p++)
        printf("%s\n", *p);
    krb5_free_krbhst(context, hosts);
