25These routines are used to get public and secret keys from the
26.Tn YP
27database.
28The
29.Fn getsecretkey
30function
31has an extra argument,
32.Fa passwd ,
33which is used to decrypt the encrypted secret key stored in the database.
34Both routines return 1 if they are successful in finding the key, 0 otherwise.
35The keys are returned as
36.Dv NUL Ns \-terminated ,
37hexadecimal strings.
38If the password supplied to
39.Fn getsecretkey
40fails to decrypt the secret key, the routine will return 1 but the
41.Fa secretkey
42argument will be a
43.Dv NUL
