Can kerberos api handle parallel TGT access?

Hi all,

I have two processes, process A and process B, they share the same TGT
file, and they both need this TGT file to apply different server tickets.
My question is:

Is it OK for these two processes to manipulate the same TGT using krb5 api
simultaneously? Can krb5 API handle this parallelism? If krb5 API can
handle this, then it can relieve me from adding synchronization logic in my
processes.

Thanks.
