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 mechanism-spe-
				cific status code reported by means of the minor_status parameter details the error condition.
