keyblock keyblock to free, NULL is valid argument

KRB5_LIB_FUNCTION void KRB5_LIB_CALL krb5_free_keyblock_contents (krb5_context context, krb5_keyblock * keyblock)

HEIMDAL_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT_ATTRIBUTE KRB5_LIB_FUNCTION krb5_error_code KRB5_LIB_CALL krb5_generate_random (void * buf, size_t len)

Fill buffer buf with len bytes of PRNG randomness that is ok to use for key generation, padding and public diclosing the randomness w/o disclosing the randomness source.

This function can fail, and callers must check the return value.

Parameters

buf a buffer to fill with randomness
len length of memory that buf points to.

Returns

return 0 on success or HEIM_ERR_RANDOM_OFFLINE if the funcation failed to initialize the randomness source.

KRB5_LIB_FUNCTION void KRB5_LIB_CALL krb5_generate_random_block (void * buf, size_t len)

Fill buffer buf with len bytes of PRNG randomness that is ok to use for key generation, padding and public diclosing the randomness w/o disclosing the randomness source.

This function can NOT fail, instead it will abort() and program will crash.

If this function is called after a successful krb5_init_context(), the chance of it failing is low due to that krb5_init_context() pulls out some random, and quite commonly the randomness sources will not fail once it have started to produce good output, /dev/urandom behavies that way.

Parameters

buf a buffer to fill with randomness
len length of memory that buf points to.
