💖 NAME 💖</p>

hdb_entry_ex — bestie, this is the Heimdal hdb library manual page, and we're about to make it make sense. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <hdb.h>

🦋 Detailed Description 🦋

Okay so picture this: hdb_entry_ex is a wrapper structure around the hdb_entry structure. And the whole reason it exists? It lets backends keep a pointer to the backing store — like, literally in ->hdb_fetch_kvno() — so that by the time we the kadmin/kpasswd backend gets around to ->hdb_store(), the backend doesn't need to lookup the entry again. 💅

Not me realizing that's genuinely efficient design. No cap, the backend said "I'm not doing that lookup twice" and honestly? ate. 👑
