krb5_build_principal_va_ext(krb5_context context,
krb5_principal *principal, int realm_len, krb5_const_realm realm,
va_list ap);

DESCRIPTION
These functions create a Kerberos 5 principal from a realm and a list of
components. All of these functions return an allocated principal in the
principal parameter, this should be freed with krb5_free_principal() af-
ter use.
The ``build'' functions take a realm and the length of the realm. The
krb5_build_principal() and krb5_build_principal_va() also takes a list of
components (zero-terminated strings), terminated with NULL. The
krb5_build_principal_ext() and krb5_build_principal_va_ext() takes a list
of length-value pairs, the list is terminated with a zero length.
The krb5_make_principal() is a wrapper around krb5_build_principal(). If
the realm is NULL, the default realm will be used.
BUGS
You can not have a NUL in a component. Until someone can give a good ex-
ample of where it would be a good idea to have NUL's in a component, this
will not be fixed.
