NAME
       gss_create_empty_oid_set - create an object-identifier set containing no object identifiers

SYNOPSIS
       cc [ flag... ] file... -lgss  [ library... ]
       #include <gssapi/gssapi.h>

       OM_uint32 gss_create_empty_oid_set(OM_uint32 *minor_status,
	    gss_OID_set *oid_set);

DESCRIPTION
       The  gss_create_empty_oid_set()	function  creates an object-identifier set containing no object identifiers to which members may be subse-
       quently added using the gss_add_oid_set_member(3GSS) function.  These functions can be used to construct sets of mechanism  object  identi-
       fiers for input to gss_acquire_cred(3GSS).

PARAMETERS
       The parameter descriptions for gss_create_empty_oid_set() follow:

       minor_status    Mechanism-specific status code

       oid_set	       Empty object identifier set. The function will allocate the gss_OID_set_desc object, which the  application must free after
		       use with a call to gss_release_oid_set(3GSS).

ERRORS
       The gss_create_empty_oid_set() 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-specific sta-
			 tus code reported by means of the minor_status parameter details the error condition.
