+
+These functions get application application defaults from the 
+.Dv appdefaults section of the

+configuration file. These defaults can be specified per application,
+and/or per realm.
+
+These values will be looked for in 
+.Xr krb5.conf 5 ,
+in order of descending importance.

+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+
+These functions get values from the 
+.Xr krb5.conf 5 
+configuration file, or another configuration database specified by the
+.Fa c
+parameter.
+
+The variable arguments should be a list of strings naming each
+subsection to look for. For example:
+
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+krb5_config_get_bool_default(context, NULL, FALSE, "libdefaults", "log_utc", NULL)
+.Ed
+
+gets the boolean value for the
+.Dv log_utc
+option, defaulting to
+.Dv FALSE .
+
+.Fn krb5_config_get_bool_default
+will convert the option value to a boolean value, where
+.Sq yes , 
+.Sq true ,
+and any non-zero number means
+.Dv TRUE ,
+and any other value 
+.Dv FALSE .
+
+.Fn krb5_config_get_int_default
+will convert the value to an integer.
+
+.Fn krb5_config_get_time_default
+will convert the value to a period of time (not a time stamp) in
+seconds, so the string
+.Sq 2 weeks
+will be converted to
+1209600 (2 * 7 * 24 * 60 * 60).
+
+.Sh BUGS
+
+Other than for the string case, there's no way to tell whether there
+was a value specified or not.
