"getpublickey function" "" "\fLgetpublickey() function" "getsecretkey function" "" "\fLgetsecretkey() function" These routines are used to get public and secret keys from the YP database. 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\s0-terminated, hexadecimal strings.
