GSS_ADD_OID_SET_MEMBER(3GSS) Generic Security Services API Library Functions

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);

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.

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. New members are always added to the end of the
OID set's elements. If the member_oid is already present, the oid_set
should remain unchanged.

ERRORS

The gss_add_oid_set_member() function can 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 status code
reported by means of the minor_status parameter details the error
condition.
