DESCRIPTION

     k_hasafs() initializes some library internal structures, and tests for the presence of AFS
     in the kernel, none of the other functions should be called before k_hasafs() is called, or
     if it fails.

     k_hasafs_recheck() forces a recheck if a AFS client has started since last time k_hasafs()
     or k_hasafs_recheck() was called.

     kafs_set_verbose() set a log function that will be called each time the kafs library does
     something important so that the application using libkafs can output verbose logging.
     Calling the function kafs_set_verbose with the function argument set to NULL will stop
     libkafs from calling the logging function (if set).

     kafs_settoken_rxkad() set rxkad with the token and ticket (that have the length ticket_len)
     for a given cell.

     kafs_settoken() and kafs_settoken5() work the same way as kafs_settoken_rxkad() but
     internally converts the Kerberos 4 or 5 credential to a afs cleartoken and ticket.

     krb_afslog(), and krb_afslog_uid() obtains new tokens (and possibly tickets) for the
     specified cell and realm.  If cell is NULL, the local cell is used. If realm is NULL, the
     function tries to guess what realm to use. Unless you  have some good knowledge of what cell
     or realm to use, you should pass NULL.  krb_afslog() will use the real user-id for the
     ViceId field in the token, krb_afslog_uid() will use uid.

     krb5_afslog(), and krb5_afslog_uid() are the Kerberos 5 equivalents of krb_afslog(), and
     krb_afslog_uid().

     krb5_afslog(), kafs_settoken5() can be configured to behave differently via a
     krb5_appdefault option afs-use-524 in krb5.conf.  Possible values for afs-use-524 are:

     yes    use the 524 server in the realm to convert the ticket

     no     use the Kerberos 5 ticket directly, can be used with if the afs cell support 2b
            token.

     local, 2b
            convert the Kerberos 5 credential to a 2b token locally (the same work as a 2b 524
            server should have done).

     Example:

     [appdefaults]
             SU.SE = { afs-use-524 = local }
             PDC.KTH.SE = { afs-use-524 = yes }
             afs-use-524 = yes

     libkafs will use the libkafs as application name when running the krb5_appdefault function
     call.

     The (uppercased) cell name is used as the realm to the krb5_appdefault function.

     k_afs_cell_of_file() will in cell return the cell of a specified file, no more than len
     characters is put in cell.

     k_pioctl() does a pioctl() system call with the specified arguments. This function is
     equivalent to lpioctl().

     k_setpag() initializes a new PAG.

     k_unlog() removes destroys all tokens in the current PAG.

RETURN VALUES

     k_hasafs() returns 1 if AFS is present in the kernel, 0 otherwise.  krb_afslog() and
     krb_afslog_uid() returns 0 on success, or a Kerberos error number on failure.
     k_afs_cell_of_file(), k_pioctl(), k_setpag(), and k_unlog() all return the value of the
     underlaying system call, 0 on success.

ENVIRONMENT

     The following environment variable affect the mode of operation of kafs:

     AFS_SYSCALL  Normally, kafs will try to figure out the correct system call(s) that are used
                  by AFS by itself.  If it does not manage to do that, or does it incorrectly,
                  you can set this variable to the system call number or list of system call
                  numbers that should be used.

EXAMPLES

     The following code from login will obtain a new PAG and tokens for the local cell and the
     cell of the users home directory.

     if (k_hasafs()) {
             char cell[64];
             k_setpag();
             if(k_afs_cell_of_file(pwd->pw_dir, cell, sizeof(cell)) == 0)
                     krb_afslog(cell, NULL);
             krb_afslog(NULL, NULL);
     }

ERRORS

     If any of these functions (apart from k_hasafs()) is called without AFS being present in the
     kernel, the process will usually (depending on the operating system) receive a SIGSYS
     signal.

FILES

     libkafs will search for ThisCell and TheseCells in the following locations: /usr/vice/etc,
     /etc/openafs, /var/db/openafs/etc, /usr/arla/etc, /etc/arla, and /etc/afs

BUGS

     AFS_SYSCALL has no effect under AIX.
