# NAME

`krb5_appdefault_boolean`, `krb5_appdefault_string`, `krb5_appdefault_time` — get application configuration value

# LIBRARY

Kerberos 5 Library (libkrb5, -lkrb5)

# SYNOPSIS

`#include <krb5/krb5.h>`

void
`krb5_appdefault_boolean`(krb5_context context, const char *appname, krb5_realm realm, const char *option, krb5_boolean def_val, krb5_boolean *ret_val);

void
`krb5_appdefault_string`(krb5_context context, const char *appname, krb5_realm realm, const char *option, const char *def_val, char **ret_val);

void
`krb5_appdefault_time`(krb5_context context, const char *appname, krb5_realm realm, const char *option, time_t def_val, time_t *ret_val);

# DESCRIPTION

These functions get application defaults from the `appdefaults` section of the krb5.conf(5) configuration file. These defaults can be specified per application, and/or per realm.

These values will be looked for in krb5.conf(5), in order of descending importance.

    [appdefaults]
    	appname = {
    		realm = {
    			option = value
    		}
    	}
    	appname = {
    		option = value
    	}
    	realm = {
    		option = value
    	}
    	option = value

appname is the name of the application, and realm is the realm name. If the realm is omitted it will not be used for resolving values. def_val is the value to return if no value is found in krb5.conf(5).
