krb5_creds holds Kerberos credentials:

typedef struct krb5_creds {
    krb5_principal	client;
    krb5_principal	server;
    krb5_keyblock	session;
    krb5_times		times;
    krb5_data		ticket;
    krb5_data		second_ticket;
    krb5_authdata	authdata;
    krb5_addresses	addresses;
    krb5_ticket_flags	flags;
} krb5_creds;

krb5_copy_creds() makes a copy of incred to outcred. outcred should be freed with krb5_free_creds() by the caller.

krb5_copy_creds_contents() makes a copy of the content of incred to outcreds. outcreds should be freed by the called with krb5_free_creds_contents().

krb5_free_creds() frees the content of the cred structure and the structure itself.

krb5_free_cred_contents() frees the content of the cred structure.
