# krb5_unmarshal_credentials - Deserialize a krb5_creds object.

krb5_error_code `krb5_unmarshal_credentials`(krb5_context context, const krb5_data * data, krb5_creds ** creds_out)

param: | [in] context - Library context [in] data - The serialized credentials [out] creds_out - The resulting creds object

retval: | 0 Success; otherwise - Kerberos error codes

Deserialize data to credentials in the format used by the FILE ccache format (vesion 4) and KCM ccache protocol.

Use `krb5_free_creds()` to free creds_out when it is no longer needed.
