gss_context_time(3GSS) Generic Security Services API Library Functions gss_context_time(3GSS)
NAME
gss_context_time - determine how long a context will remain valid
SYNOPSIS
cc -flag ... file ...-lgss [library ...]
#include <gssapi/gssapi.h>
OM_uint32 gss_context_time(OM_uint32 *minor_status, gss_ctx_id_t *context_handle, OM_uint32 *time_rec);
DESCRIPTION
The gss_context_time() function determines the number of seconds for which the specified context will remain valid.
PARAMETERS
The parameter descriptions for gss_context_time() are as follows:
minor_status A mechanism-specific status code.
context_handle A read-only value. Identifies the context to be interrogated.
time_rec Modifies the number of seconds that the context remains valid. If the context has already expired, returns zero.
ERRORS
The gss_context_time() function returns one of the following status codes:
GSS_S_COMPLETE Successful completion.
GSS_S_CONTEXT_EXPIRED The context has already expired.
GSS_S_NO_CONTEXT The context_handle parameter did not identify a valid context.
GSS_S_FAILURE The underlying mechanism detected an error for which no specific GSS status code is defined. The mecha-
nism-specific status code reported by means of the minor_status parameter details the error condition.
