Resolve the key table name *name* and set *ktid* to a handle identifying the key table. Use :c:func:`krb5_kt_close()` to free *ktid* when it is no longer needed.



 *name* must be of the form **type:residual** , where *type* must be a type known to the library and *residual* portion should be specific to the particular keytab type. If no *type* is given, the default is **FILE** .



If *name* is of type **FILE** , the keytab file is not opened by this call.
