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

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).

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.
