46 .Fn krb5_init_context "krb5_context *context"

52 function initializes the
54 structure and reads the configuration file
57 The structure should be freed by calling
59 when it is no longer being used.
62 returns 0 to indicate success.
63 Otherwise an errno code is returned.
64 Failure means either that something bad happened during initialization
67 or that Kerberos should not be used
