💖 shishi_keys_add_keytab_file(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the shishi manual — this page lives in section 3, it's a lil API function, and it's here to help you slurp keys out of a keytab file and yeet them into a key set. no cap. let's go ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

shishi_keys_add_keytab_file — literally just an API function, that's the whole name, she's lowkey mysterious like that 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <shishi.h>

int shishi_keys_add_keytab_file(Shishi * handle, const char * filename,
Shishi_keys * keys);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • Shishi * handle — your shishi handle, the one you got from shishi_init(). she's the main character here, everything runs through her ✨
  • const char * filename — the name of the file you wanna read. yes, the actual filename, go off 🗂️
  • Shishi_keys * keys — an already-allocated key set, aka the lil basket where the keys are gonna get stored. she's pre-made, don't forget to allocate her first 🧺

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so basically? you read keys out of a MIT keytab data structure sitting in a file, and then you add those keys into the key set. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🫶

the tea on keytab formats: the format is proprietary 😭 but this function supports the 0x0501 and 0x0502 formats, so you're covered for those two. if you wanna know how the reverse-engineered format actually works, go read the section The MIT Kerberos Keytab Binary File Format in the Shishi manual. it's giving detective work, iykyk 🔍

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

  • returns SHISHI_IO_ERROR if the file cannot be read 😭 (like, the file said "not today")
  • returns SHISHI_KEYTAB_ERROR if the data cannot be parsed as a valid keytab structure 💀 (she's not shaped like a keytab, bestie)
  • and SHISHI_OK on success 👑 periodt
