GSS_DISPLAY_STATUS(3)	      Programmer's Manual	 GSS_DISPLAY_STATUS(3)

NAME
     gss_display_status — Convert a GSS-API status code to text

SYNOPSIS
     #include <gssapi/gssapi.h>

     OM_uint32
     gss_display_status(OM_uint32 *minor_status, OM_uint32 status_value,
	 int status_type, const gss_OID mech_type, OM_uint32 *message_context,
	 gss_buffer_t status_string);

DESCRIPTION
     Allows an application to obtain a textual representation of a GSS-API
     status code, for display to the user or for logging purposes.  Since some
     status values may indicate multiple conditions, applications may need to
     call gss_display_status() multiple times, each call generating a single
     text string.  The message_context parameter is used by
     gss_display_status() to store state information about which error mes‐
     sages have already been extracted from a given status_value;
     message_context must be initialized to zero by the application prior to
     the first call, and gss_display_status() will return a non-zero value in
     this parameter if there are further messages to extract.

     The message_context parameter contains all state information required by
     gss_display_status() in order to extract further messages from the
     status_value; even when a non-zero value is returned in this parameter,
     the application is not required to call gss_display_status() again unless
     subsequent messages are desired.  The following code extracts all mes‐
     sages from a given status code and prints them to stderr:

     OM_uint32 message_context;
     OM_uint32 status_code;
     OM_uint32 maj_status;
     OM_uint32 min_status;
     gss_buffer_desc status_string;

	    ...

     message_context = 0;

     do {

       maj_status = gss_display_status (
		       &min_status,
		       status_code,
		       GSS_C_GSS_CODE,
		       GSS_C_NO_OID,
		       &message_context,
		       &status_string)

       fprintf(stderr,
	       "%.*s\n",
	      (int)status_string.length,
	      (char *)status_string.value);

       gss_release_buffer(&min_status, &status_string);

     } while (message_context != 0);

PARAMETERS
     minor_status  Mechanism specific status code.

     status_value  Status value to be converted

     status_type

		   GSS_C_GSS_CODE
				 status_value is a GSS status code

		   GSS_C_MECH_CODE
				 status_value is a mechanism status code

     mech_type	   Underlying mechanism (used to interpret a minor status
		   value).  Supply GSS_C_NO_OID to obtain the system default.

     message_context
		   Should be initialized to zero by the application prior to
		   the first call.  On return from gss_display_status(), a
		   non-zero status_value parameter indicates that additional
		   messages may be extracted from the status code via subse‐
		   quent calls to gss_display_status(), passing the same
		   status_value, status_type, mech_type, and message_context
		   parameters.

     status_string
		   Textual interpretation of the status_value.	Storage asso‐
		   ciated with this parameter must be freed by the application
		   after use with a call to gss_release_buffer().

RETURN VALUES
     GSS_S_COMPLETE
		   Successful completion

     GSS_S_BAD_MECH
		   Indicates that translation in accordance with an unsup‐
		   ported mechanism type was requested

     GSS_S_BAD_STATUS
		   The status value was not recognized, or the status type was
		   neither GSS_C_GSS_CODE nor GSS_C_MECH_CODE.
