I think i missed OFS="," from the first post. Now I'm able to get the result as intended.

Thanks

shishi_tkt_may_postdate_p

shishi_tkt_may_postdate_p(3)					      shishi					      shishi_tkt_may_postdate_p(3)

NAME

       shishi_tkt_may_postdate_p - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <shishi.h>

       int shishi_tkt_may_postdate_p(Shishi_tkt * tkt);

ARGUMENTS

       Shishi_tkt * tkt
		   input variable with ticket info.

DESCRIPTION

       Determine if ticket may be used to grant postdated tickets.

       The  MAY-POSTDATE  flag	in a ticket is normally only interpreted by the ticket-granting service. It can be ignored by application servers.
       This flag MUST be set in a ticket-granting ticket in order to issue a postdated ticket based on	the  presented	ticket.  It  is  reset	by
       default;  it  MAY  be  requested  by  a client by setting the ALLOW- POSTDATE option in the KRB_AS_REQ message.	This flag does not allow a
       client to obtain a postdated ticket-granting ticket; postdated ticket-granting tickets can only by obtained by requesting the postdating in
       the  KRB_AS_REQ message. The life (endtime-starttime) of a postdated ticket will be the remaining life of the ticket-granting ticket at the
       time of the request, unless the RENEWABLE option is also  set,  in  which  case	it  can  be  the  full	life  (endtime-starttime)  of  the
       ticket-granting ticket. The KDC MAY limit how far in the future a ticket may be postdated.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns non-0 iff may-postdate flag is set in ticket.
