Name

gss_create_empty_oid_set - create an object-identifier set containing no object identifiers

Synopsis

cc [ flag... ] file... –lgss  [ library... ] 
#include <gssapi/gssapi.h>

OM_uint32 gss_create_empty_oid_set(OM_uint32 *minor_status,
     gss_OID_set *oid_set);

Description

The gss_create_empty_oid_set() function creates an object-identifier set containing no object identifiers to which members may be subsequently added using the gss_add_oid_set_member(3GSS) function. These functions can be used to construct sets of mechanism object identifiers for input to gss_acquire_cred(3GSS).

Parameters

The parameter descriptions for gss_create_empty_oid_set() follow:

minor_status

Mechanism-specific status code

oid_set

Empty object identifier set. The function will allocate the gss_OID_set_desc object, which the application must free after use with a call to gss_release_oid_set(3GSS).

Errors

The gss_create_empty_oid_set() function may return the following status codes:

GSS_S_COMPLETE

Successful completion

GSS_S_FAILURE

The underlying mechanism detected an error for which no specific GSS status code is defined. The mechanism-specific status code reported by means of the minor_status parameter details the error condition.
