NAME
  gss_inquire_names_for_mech - Identify name types supported by a specific
  security mechanism.

SYNOPSIS
  #include <gssapi/gssapi.h>

  OM_uint32 gss_inquire_names_for_mech(
	  OM_uint32 * minor_status,
	  const gss_OID mechanism,
	  gss_OID_set * name_types );

PARAMETERS
  minor_status
	  Kerberos 5 error code.

  mechanism
	  Security mechanism to be queried.

  name_types
	  Object identifier (OID) set of name types supported by the
	  specified mechanism.

	  The returned OID set must be freed by the application after use
	  with a call to gss_release_oid_set().

DESCRIPTION
  The gss_inquire_names_for_mech() function identifies the name types that
  are supported by a particular mechanism. Since Kerberos 5 is the only
  security mechanism supported by the HP Application Security Toolkit, this
  function returns the name types Kerberos 5 supports.	gss_import_name()
  contains a list of the supported name types.

  This function can be used to verify that a name type is valid or to
  generate a list of name types from which to choose.
