27These routines are used to get public and secret keys from the
28.Tn YP
29database.
30The
31.Fn getsecretkey
32function
33has an extra argument,
34.Fa passwd ,
35which is used to decrypt the encrypted secret key stored in the database.
36Both routines return 1 if they are successful in finding the key, 0 otherwise.
37The keys are returned as
38.Dv NUL Ns \-terminated ,
39hexadecimal strings.
40If the password supplied to
41.Fn getsecretkey
42fails to decrypt the secret key, the routine will return 1 but the
43.Fa secretkey
44argument will be a
45.Dv NUL
46string
