NAME
     publickey, getpublickey, getsecretkey — get public or secret key

LIBRARY
     library “librpcsvc”

SYNOPSIS
     #include <rpc/rpc.h>
     #include <rpc/key_prot.h>

     int
     getpublickey(char netname[MAXNETNAMELEN+1],
	 char publickey[HEXKEYBYTES+1]);

     int
     getsecretkey(char netname[MAXNETNAMELEN+1],
	 char secretkey[HEXKEYBYTES+1], char *passwd);

DESCRIPTION
     These routines are used to get public and secret keys from the YP data‐
     base.  getsecretkey() has an extra argument, passwd, which is used to
     decrypt the encrypted secret key stored in the database.  Both routines
     return 1 if they are successful in finding the key, 0 otherwise.  The
     keys are returned as NULL-terminated, hexadecimal strings.	 If the pass‐
     word supplied to getsecretkey() fails to decrypt the secret key, the rou‐
     tine will return 1 but the secretkey argument will be a NULL string (“”).
