.Sh DESCRIPTION
These functions get values from the
.Xr krb5.conf 5
configuration file, or another configuration database specified by the
.Fa c
parameter.
.Pp
The variable arguments should be a list of strings naming each
subsection to look for. For example:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
krb5_config_get_bool_default(context, NULL, FALSE, 
     "libdefaults", "log_utc", NULL);
.Ed
.Pp
gets the boolean value for the
.Dv log_utc
option, defaulting to
.Dv FALSE .
.Pp
.Fn krb5_config_get_bool_default
will convert the option value to a boolean value, where
.Sq yes ,
.Sq true ,
and any non-zero number means
.Dv TRUE ,
and any other value
.Dv FALSE .
.Pp
.Fn krb5_config_get_int_default
will convert the value to an integer.
.Pp
.Fn krb5_config_get_time_default
will convert the value to a period of time (not a time stamp) in
seconds, so the string
.Sq 2 weeks
will be converted to
1209600 (2 * 7 * 24 * 60 * 60).
.Pp
.Fn krb5_config_get_string
returns a
.Ft "const char *"
to a string in the configuration database.  The string not be valid
after reload of the configuration database
.\" or a call to .Fn krb5_config_set_string ,
so a caller should make a local copy if its need to keep the database.
.Pp
.Fn krb5_config_free_strings
free
.Fa strings
as returned by
.Fn krb5_config_get_strings
and
.Fn krb5_config_vget_strings .
If the argument
.Fa strings
is a 
.Dv NULL
pointer, no action occurs.
.Pp
.Fn krb5_config_file_free
free the result of
.Fn krb5_config_parse_file
and
.Fn krb5_config_parse_file_multi .

.Xr krb5_appdefault 3 ,
.Xr krb5_init_context 3 ,
.Xr krb5.conf 5
.Sh BUGS
For the default functions, other than for the string case, there's no
way to tell whether there was a value specified or not.
