NAME
       gss_wrap_size_limit() - determine a token-size limit for gss_wrap on a context

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
       The  routine  allows  an  application  to  determine the maximum message size that, if presented to with the same conf_req_flag and qop_req
       parameters, will result in an output token containing no more than the req_output_size bytes.

       This call is intended for use by applications that communicate over protocols that impose a maximum message size.  It enables the  applica-
       tion to fragment messages prior to applying protection.

   Input Parameters
       context_handle	     Specifies the context on which the message is sent.

       conf_req_flag	     Specifies the requested level of confidentiality and integrity services, as follows:

			     Non-zero	 Both confidentiality and integrity services are requested.

			     Zero	 Only integrity services are requested.

       qop_req		     Specifies	the  cryptographic  algorithm, or quality of protection.  A mechanism-specific default may be requested by
			     setting qop_req to

       req_output_size	     The desired maximum size for tokens emitted by

   Output Parameters
       max_input_size	     The maximum input message size that may be presented to in order to guarantee that the  emitted  token  shall  be	no
			     larger than req_output_size bytes.

       minor_status	     Returns a status code from the security mechanism.

STATUS CODES
       The following status codes can be returned:

       The routine was completed successfully.

       The context identified in the
				context_handle parameter was not valid.

       The context has already expired.

       The specified QOP is not supported by the mechanism.
