# krb5_build_principal_ext - Build a principal name using length-counted strings.

krb5_error_code `krb5_build_principal_ext`(krb5_context context, krb5_principal * princ, unsigned int rlen, const char * realm, ...)

param: | [in] context - Library context [out] princ - Principal name [in] rlen - Realm name length [in] realm - Realm name

retval: | 0 Success
return: | Kerberos error codes

This function creates a principal from a length-counted string and a variable-length list of length-counted components. The list of components ends with the first 0 length argument (so it is not possible to specify an empty component with this function). Call `krb5_free_principal()` to free allocated memory for principal when it is no longer needed.
