112.Sh DESCRIPTION
113The string to key functions convert a string to a kerberos key.
114.Pp
115.Fn krb5_string_to_key_data_salt_opaque
116is the function that does all the work, the rest of the functions are
117just wrappers around
118.Fn krb5_string_to_key_data_salt_opaque
119that calls it with default values.
120.Pp
121.Fn krb5_string_to_key_data_salt_opaque
122transforms the
123.Fa password
124with the given salt-string
125.Fa salt
126and the opaque, encryption type specific parameter
127.Fa opaque
128to a encryption key
129.Fa key
130according to the string to key function associated with
131.Fa enctype .
132.Pp
133The
134.Fa key
135should be freed with
136.Fn krb5_free_keyblock_contents .
137.Pp
138If one of the functions that doesn't take a
139.Li krb5_salt
140as it argument
141.Fn krb5_get_pw_salt
142is used to get the salt value.
143.Pp
144.Fn krb5_get_pw_salt
145get the default password salt for a principal, use
146.Fn krb5_free_salt
147to free the salt when done.
148.Pp
149.Fn krb5_free_salt
150frees the content of
151.Fa salt .
