gss_inquire_cred_by_mech(3)			   gss_inquire_cred_by_mech(3)

NAME
       gss_inquire_cred_by_mech() - provide the calling application per-mecha‐
       nism information about a credential

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
       The routine provides per-mechanism information about a credential.

   Input Parameters
       cred_handle	     Specifies a handle for the target credential.  To
			     get  information  about  the  default credential,
			     specify

       mech_type	     Set of security mechanisms for which  information
			     should be returned.

   Output Parameters
       name		     Returns  the  principal name asserted by the cre‐
			     dential.  If the principal name is not  required,
			     specify NULL.

       initiator_lifetime    Returns  the number of seconds for which the cre‐
			     dential will remain capable of  initiating	 secu‐
			     rity  contexts under the specified mechanism.  If
			     the credential can no longer be used to  initiate
			     contexts,	or  if	the  credential usage for this
			     mechanism is this parameter will be set to zero.

			     If the implementation does not support expiration
			     of	 initiator  credentials, the parameter returns
			     the value If an expiration time is not  required,
			     specify NULL.

       acceptor_lifetime     Returns  the number of seconds for which the cre‐
			     dential will remain capable of accepting security
			     contexts under the specified mechanism.

			     If the implementation does not support expiration
			     of initiator credentials, the  parameter  returns
			     the  value If an expiration time is not required,
			     specify NULL.

       cred_usage	     Returns one of the	 following  values  describing
			     how the application can use the credential:

			     If	 no  usage  information	 is  required, specify
			     NULL.

       minor_status	     Returns a status code from	 the  security	mecha‐
			     nism.

STATUS CODES
       The following status codes can be returned:

       The routine was completed successfully.

       The credentials expired.	 If the
				lifetime  parameter  was passed as NULL, it is
				set to 0 (zero).

       The credentials were invalid.

       The routine failed.  Check the
				minor_status parameter for details.

       The routine could not access the credentials.
