The main functions deal with the nitty-gritty details: verifying
tickets, creating authenticators, and the like.
+\subsubsection{The krb5_context}
+The \datatype{krb5_context} is designed to represent the per process
+state. When the library is made thread-safe, the context will represent
+the per-thread state. Global parameters which are ``context'' specific
+are stored in this structure, including default realm, default
+encryption type, default configuration files and the like. Functions
+exist to provide full access to the data structures stored in the
+context and should not be accessed directly by developers.
