💖 shishi_keys_to_keytab_file(3) — the shishi manual, bestie edition 💖

okay so you found the shishi_keys_to_keytab_file(3) page in the shishi manual?? slay. sit down, grab a boba, and let me tell you about the little function that takes your keys and dumps them into a keytab file. it's giving file-writing main character energy ✨

✨ NAME ✨

shishi_keys_to_keytab_file — API function 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <shishi.h>

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

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • Shishi * handle — the shishi handle, and like… you gotta have one. you get it from shishi_init(), bestie, no handle no party.
  • Shishi_keys * keys — the keyset you wanna write out. the whole lil bundle of keys. 💜
  • const char * filename — the name of the file you're writing to. yes, the actual file name. iconic.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what it does: it writes your keys into a MIT keytab data structure. that's the whole vibe. 💅

now the tea: the format of keytabs is proprietary 😭 — not open, not free, not ours. but this function writes the 0x0502 format, and if you wanna know exactly what that looks like, go read the section The MIT Kerberos Keytab Binary File Format in the Shishi manual, where the format got reverse-engineered and documented for us. iykyk 🧚

💀 RETURNS 💀

  • SHISHI_FOPEN_ERROR — if there's a problem opening filename for writing 🙈
  • SHISHI_IO_ERROR — if there's a problem writing the file 😭
  • SHISHI_OK — on success. we love to see it. 👑

⭐ SINCE ⭐

0.0.42 — a classic, honestly. been here since forever.
