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. The function may add the new member OID anywhere within the elements array, and the GSS-API verifies that the new member_oid is not already contained within the elements array. If the member_oid is already present, the oid_set should remain unchanged.

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.

The gss_add_oid_set_member() 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.
