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 otherwise. 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 (“”).
