Description

This routine and krb5_build_principal_va perform the same function. krb5_build_principal takes a variable-length argument list, which is added to the principal data being built.

Both functions take a realm name realm, realm name length rlen, and a list of null-terminated strings, and fill in a pointer to a principal structure principal, making it point to a structure representing the named principal. The last string must be followed in the argument list by a NULL pointer.

Return Values

This routine returns the following KRB5 status code:

0

Successful completion.

ENOMEM

Insufficient memory.
