krb5_free_ticket() frees the ticket and its content . Used to free the result of krb5_copy_ticket() and krb5_recvauth().

krb5_copy_ticket() copies the content of the ticket from to the ticket to. The result to should be freed with krb5_free_ticket().

krb5_ticket_get_authorization_data_type() fetches the authorization data of the type type from the ticket. If there isn't any authorization data of type type, ENOENT is returned. data needs to be freed with krb5_data_free() on success.

krb5_ticket_get_client() and krb5_ticket_get_server() returns a copy of the client/server principal from the ticket. The principal returned should be free using krb5_free_principal(3).
