thing it was still used for was to set the "global default" password hash. Since the stock auth.conf contained nothing but comments, the global default was actually the first algorithm in crypt(3)'s list, which happens to be DES; I take the fact that nobody noticed as proof that it was not used outside of crypt(3). The only other use in our tree was in the Kerberos support code in in tinyware's passwd(1). I removed that code in an earlier commit; it would not have compiled anyway, as it only supported Kerberos IV. The auth_getval() function is now a stub that always returns NULL, which has the same effect as a functional auth_getval() with an empty auth.conf. MFC after: 3 weeks

|
|
.In libutil.h
|
|
.Ft properties
|
|
.Fn properties_read "int fd"
|
|
.Ft char *
|
|
.Fn property_find "properties list" "const char *name"

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
typedef struct _properties {

struct _properties *next;
|
|
char *name;
|
|
char *value;

.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The function
|
|
.Fn properties_read
|
|
reads
|
|
.Fa name = value
|
|
pairs from the file descriptor passed in
|
|
.Fa fd
|
|
and returns the head of a new property list, assuming that the
|
|
file's contents have been parsed properly, or NULL in case
|
|
of error.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn property_find
|
|
function returns the associated value string for the property named
|
|
.Fa name
|
|
if found, otherwise NULL.
|
|
The value returned may be up to
|
|
.Dv PROPERTY_MAX_VALUE
|
|
bytes in length.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn properties_free
|
|
function is used to free the structure returned by
|
|
.Fn properties_read
|
|
when it is no longer needed.
|
|
.Sh FILE FORMAT
|
|
Each property in the file is assumed to have the format of
|
|
.Fa name = value
|
|
where
|
|
.Fa name
|
|
is an alphanumeric string (and any punctuation not including the `=' character)
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa value
|
|
is an arbitrary string of text terminated by a newline character.
|
|
If newlines
|
|
are desired, the entire value should be enclosed in { } (curly-bracket)
|
|
characters.
|
|
Any line beginning with a # or ; character is assumed to
|
|
be a comment and will be ignored.
