NAME

 gss_context_time - determine how long a context will remain valid

SYNOPSIS

 
cc -flag ...  file ...-lgss [library ...] 
#include <gssapi/gssapi.h>
OM_uint32 gss_context_time(OM_uint32 *minor_status, gss_ctx_id_t *context_handle, OM_uint32 *time_rec);

DESCRIPTION

 

The gss_context_time() function determines the number of seconds for which the specified context will remain valid.

PARAMETERS

 

The parameter descriptions for gss_context_time() are as follows:

minor_status
A mechanism-specific status code.
context_handle
A read-only value. Identifies the context to be interrogated.
time_rec
Modifies the number of seconds that the context remains valid. If the context has already expired, returns zero.

RETURN VALUES

 

The gss_context_time() function returns one of the following status codes:

GSS_S_COMPLETE
Successful completion.
GSS_S_CONTEXT_EXPIRED
The context has already expired.
GSS_S_NO_CONTEXT
The context_handle parameter did not identify a valid context.
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.
