67.Sh DESCRIPTION
68These functions are used to sequence through all Kerberos hosts of a
69particular realm and service. The service type can be the KDCs, the
70administrative servers, the password changing servers, or the servers
71for Kerberos 4 ticket conversion.
72.Pp
73First a handle to a particular service is obtained by calling
74.Fn krb5_krbhst_init
75(or
76.Fn krb5_krbhst_init_flags )
77with the
78.Fa realm
79of interest and the type of service to lookup. The
80.Fa type
81can be one of:
82.Pp
83.Bl -tag -width Ds -compact -offset indent
84.It KRB5_KRBHST_KDC
85.It KRB5_KRBHST_ADMIN
86.It KRB5_KRBHST_CHANGEPW
87.It KRB5_KRBHST_KRB524
88.El
89.Pp
90The
91.Fa handle
92is returned to the caller, and should be passed to the other
93functions.
94.Pp
95The
96.Fa flag
97argument to
98.Nm krb5_krbhst_init_flags
99is the same flags as
100.Fn krb5_send_to_kdc_flags
101uses.
102Possible values are:
103.Pp
104.Bl -tag -width KRB5_KRBHST_FLAGS_LARGE_MSG -compact -offset indent
105.It KRB5_KRBHST_FLAGS_MASTER
106only talk to master (readwrite) KDC
107.It KRB5_KRBHST_FLAGS_LARGE_MSG
108this is a large message, so use transport that can handle that.
109.El
110.Pp
111For each call to
112.Fn krb5_krbhst_next
113information on a new host is returned. The former function returns in
114.Fa host
115a pointer to a structure containing information about the host, such
116as protocol, hostname, and port:
117.Bd -literal -offset indent
118typedef struct krb5_krbhst_info {
119    enum { KRB5_KRBHST_UDP,
120	   KRB5_KRBHST_TCP,
121	   KRB5_KRBHST_HTTP } proto;
122    unsigned short port;
123    struct addrinfo *ai;
124    struct krb5_krbhst_info *next;
125    char hostname[1];
126} krb5_krbhst_info;
127.Ed
128.Pp
129The related function,
130.Fn krb5_krbhst_next_as_string ,
131return the same information as a URL-like string.
132.Pp
133When there are no more hosts, these functions return
134.Dv KRB5_KDC_UNREACH .
135.Pp
136To re-iterate over all hosts, call
137.Fn krb5_krbhst_reset
138and the next call to
139.Fn krb5_krbhst_next
140will return the first host.
141.Pp
142When done with the handle,
143.Fn krb5_krbhst_free
144should be called.
145.Pp
146To use a
147.Va krb5_krbhst_info ,
148there are two functions:
149.Fn krb5_krbhst_format_string
150that will return a printable representation of that struct
151and
152.Fn krb5_krbhst_get_addrinfo
153that will return a
154.Va struct addrinfo
155that can then be used for communicating with the server mentioned.
156.Sh EXAMPLES
157The following code will print the KDCs of the realm
158.Dq MY.REALM :
159.Bd -literal -offset indent
160krb5_krbhst_handle handle;
161char host[MAXHOSTNAMELEN];
162krb5_krbhst_init(context, "MY.REALM", KRB5_KRBHST_KDC, &handle);
163while(krb5_krbhst_next_as_string(context, handle,
164				 host, sizeof(host)) == 0)
165    printf("%s\\n", host);
166krb5_krbhst_free(context, handle);
