gss_delete_sec_context(3GSS)			  Generic Security Services API Library Functions		      gss_delete_sec_context(3GSS)

NAME
       gss_delete_sec_context - delete a GSS-API security context

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

       OM_uint32 gss_delete_sec_context(OM_uint32  *minor_status, gss_ctx_id_t *context_handle, gss_buffer_t output_token);

DESCRIPTION
       Use  the  gss_delete_sec_context() function to delete a security context.  The gss_delete_sec_context() function will delete the local data
       structures associated with the specified security context.  You may not obtain further security services that use the context specified	by
       context_handle.

       In  addition  to  deleting established security contexts, gss_delete_sec_context() will delete any half-built security contexts that result
       from incomplete sequences of calls to gss_init_sec_context(3GSS) and  gss_accept_sec_context(3GSS).

       The Solaris implementation of the GSS-API retains the output_token parameter for compatibility with version 1 of the  GSS-API.	Both  peer
       applications  should invoke gss_delete_sec_context(), passing the value	GSS_C_NO_BUFFER to the output_token parameter; this indicates that
       no token is required.  If the application passes a valid buffer to gss_delete_sec_context(), it will return a zero-length token, indicating
       that no token should be transferred by the application.

PARAMETERS
       The parameter descriptions for gss_delete_sec_context() follow:

       minor_status    A mechanism specific status code.

       context_handle  Context	handle	identifying specific context to delete. After deleting the context, the GSS-API will set context_handle to
		       GSS_C_NO_CONTEXT.

       output_token    A token to be sent to remote applications that instructs them to delete the context.

ERRORS
       gss_delete_sec_context() may return the following status codes:

       GSS_S_COMPLETE		Successful completion.

       GSS_S_NO_CONTEXT        No valid context was supplied.

       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.
