Description

Generic Security Services API Library Functions       gss_indicate_mechs(3gss)



NAME
       gss_indicate_mechs - determine available security mechanisms

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

       OM_uint32 gss_indicate_mechs(OM_uint32 *minor_status,
            gss_OID_set  *mech_set);


DESCRIPTION
       The  gss_indicate_mechs()  function enables an application to determine
       available underlying security mechanisms.

PARAMETERS
       The parameter descriptions for gss_indicate_mechs() follow:

       minor_status    A mechanism-specific status code.


       mech_set        Set of supported mechanisms. The  returned  gss_OID_set
                       value  will  be  a  dynamically-allocated  OID set that
                       should be released by the caller after use with a  call
                       to gss_release_oid_set(3GSS).


ERRORS
       The  gss_indicate_mechs()  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 mecha-
                         nism-specific status code reported by  means  of  the
                         minor_status parameter details the error condition.
