💖 shishi_keys_to_keytab_mem 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the shishi section 3 manual, page shishi_keys_to_keytab_mem(3). this one is a whole little API function and she is serving, so grab a strawberry and let's get into it 🍓✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

shishi_keys_to_keytab_mem — literally just an API function, that's her whole job title 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <shishi.h>

int shishi_keys_to_keytab_mem(Shishi * handle, Shishi_keys * keys, char
** out, size_t * len);

no cap, that's the whole incantation. say it with your chest 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • Shishi * handle — the shishi handle, bestie. you get one from shishi_init() and you do not just make one up, ok?
  • Shishi_keys * keys — the key set that's getting converted into keytab format. she's the main character of this whole operation 👑
  • char ** out — a constant memory buffer holding the keytab, and it's len bytes big. yes, constant. hands off 🙈
  • size_t * len — the size of that memory buffer with the keytab data in it. the receipts, the measurements, the vibe check 📏

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what she does is write keys into a MIT keytab data structure. that's it, that's the gig ✨

now here's the tea, and it's kind of important: the format of keytabs is proprietary. like, not public. not ours. and this function writes the 0x0502 format specifically — that's the one, no substitutions 🔥

if you want the full lore, go read the section The MIT Kerberos Keytab Binary File Format in the Shishi manual, where the reverse-engineered format is described in all its unhinged glory. iykyk 💀

🌈 RETURNS 🌈

  • on success? you get SHISHI_OK back. slay 💖
  • otherwise you get an error code. not slay. 😭

⭐ SINCE ⭐

0.0.42 — she's been around a minute, an elder actually 🫶
