PUBLICKEY(3)						   BSD 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 oth-
     erwise.  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 (``'').
