DESCRIPTION

The gss_indicate_mechs() function enables an application to determine
available underlying security mechanisms.

PARAMETERS

The parameter descriptions for gss_indicate_mechs() follow:

minor_status
A mechanism-specific status code.


mech_set
Set of supported mechanisms. The returned gss_OID_set
value will be a dynamically-allocated OID set that
should be released by the caller after use with a
call to gss_release_oid_set(3GSS).

ERRORS

The gss_indicate_mechs() 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.
