NAME
gss_oid_to_str - convert an OID to a string SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lgss [ library... ] #include <gssapi/gssapi.h> gss_oid_to_str(OM_uint32 *minor_status, const gss_OID oid, gss_buffer_toid_str); PARAMETERS
minor_status Status code returned by underlying mechanism. oid GSS-API OID structure to convert. oid_str String to receive converted OID. DESCRIPTION
The gss_oid_to_str() function converts a GSS-API OID structure to a string. You can use the function to convert the name of a mechanism from an OID to a simple string. This function is a convenience function, as is its complementary function, gss_str_to_oid(3GSS). If an OID must be created, use gss_create_empty_oid_set(3GSS) and gss_add_oid_set_member(3GSS) to create it. OIDs created in this way must be released with gss_release_oid_set(3GSS). However, it is strongly suggested that applications use the default GSS-API mechanism instead of creating an OID for a specific mechanism. ERRORS
The gss_oid_to_str() function returns one of the following status codes: GSS_S_CALL_INACCESSIBLE_READ A required input parameter could not be read. GSS_S_CALL_INACCESSIBLE_WRITE A required output parameter could not be written. GSS_S_COMPLETE Successful completion. GSS_S_FAILURE The underlying mechanism detected an error for which no specific GSS status code is defined. The mechanism-specific status code reported by means of the minor_status parameter details the error condition. ATTRIBUTES

This function is included for compatibility only with programs using earlier versions of the GSS-API and should not be used for new pro- grams. Other implementations of the GSS-API might not support this function, so portable programs should not rely on it. Sun might not con- tinue to support this function.

NAME
gss_add_oid_set_member - add an object identifier to an object identifier set SYNOPSIS
cc -flag ... file ...-lgss [library ...] #include <gssapi/gssapi.h> OM_uint32 gss_add_oid_set_member(OM_uint32 *minor_status, const gss_OID member_oid, gss_OID_set *oid_set); DESCRIPTION
The gss_add_oid_set_member() function adds an object identifier to an object identifier set. You should use this function in conjunction with gss_create_empty_oid_set(3GSS) when constructing a set of mechanism OIDs for input to gss_acquire_cred(3GSS). The oid_set parameter must refer to an OID-set created by GSS-API, that is, a set returned by gss_create_empty_oid_set(3GSS). The GSS-API creates a copy of the member_oid and inserts this copy into the set, expanding the storage allocated to the OID-set elements array, if necessary. The function may add the new member OID anywhere within the elements array, and the GSS-API verifies that the new member_oid is not already contained within the elements array. If the member_oid is already present, the oid_set should remain unchanged. PARAMETERS
The parameter descriptions for gss_add_oid_set_member() follow: minor_status A mechanism specific status code. member_oid Object identifier to be copied into the set. oid_set Set in which the object identifier should be inserted. ERRORS
The gss_add_oid_set_member() 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 mechanism-spe- cific status code reported by means of the minor_status parameter details the error condition. ATTRIBUTES
