GSSAPI Client Example: main() Function

As with all C programs, the outer shell of the program is contained in the entry-point function, main(). main() performs four functions:

The source code for the main() routine is shown in the following example.


Note - The source code for this example is also available through the Oracle download center. See http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/indexes/downloads/sdlc-decommission-333274.html.


Example 5-1 gss-client Example: main()

int main(argc, argv)
     int argc;
