NAME
       rpc_gss_max_data_length(),  rpc_gss_svc_max_data_length() - get maximum
       data length for transmission

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
       Performing a security transformation on a piece of data generally  pro‐
       duces  data with a different (usually greater) length.  For some trans‐
       ports, such as UDP, there is a maximum length of data which can be sent
       out  in	one  data  unit.  Applications need to know the maximum size a
       piece of data can be before it's transformed,  so  that	the  resulting
       data  will still "fit" on the transport.	 You can use the following two
       functions to determine the maximum data length  for  transmission.   is
       the client-side version, and is the server-side version.

PARAMETERS
       The following parameters can be used with these functions:

       handle	 An RPC context handle of type returned when a context is cre‐
		 ated (for example, by Security service and QOP are  bound  to
		 this handle, eliminating any need to specify them.

       max_tp_unit_len
		 The maximum size of a piece of data allowed by the transport.

       req	 A  pointer to an RPC structure, containing information on the
		 context (for example, program number and credentials).

MULTITHREAD USAGE
       Thread Safe:	     Yes
       Cancel Safe:	     Yes
       Fork Safe:	     No
       Async-cancel Safe:    No
       Async-signal Safe:    No

       These functions can be called safely in	a  multithreaded  environment.
       They  may  be  cancellation points in that they call functions that are
       cancel points.

       In a multithreaded environment, these functions	are  not  safe	to  be
       called  by  a child process after and before These functions should not
       be called by a multithreaded  application  that	supports  asynchronous
       cancellation or asynchronous signals.

RETURN VALUE
       Both  functions	return the maximum size of untransformed data allowed,
       as an
