GSS_CREATE_EMPTY_OID_SET(3GSS)
Generic Security Services API Library Functions

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
subsequently added using the gss_add_oid_set_member(3GSS) function.
These functions can be used to construct sets of mechanism object
identifiers 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 status code reported by means of
the minor_status parameter details the error
condition.
