crget(), crfree(), crdup() etc. have all been removed from the

they aren't exported. I assume that the kauth KPI is still a work
in progress, especially considering there are declarations like
kauth_cred_unref() in sys/kauth.h for which there's no kernel
implementation.
Sam,
What are you trying to do with credentials? Many of the old abuses
of the credential system are no longer possible (or necessary in many
cases).
My question is what I should do in the meantime? Should I declare
a dependency on the kernel itself and maintain this from release to
release until there's an exported KPI? What does a dependency on
the kernel itself look like in a kext's OSBundleLibraries dict?
Tell us what you're trying to do first. 8)
