gss_inquire_mechs_for_name(3)
NAME
  gss_inquire_mechs_for_name - Identify security mechanisms that can process
  a given name.

SYNOPSIS
  #include <gssapi/gssapi.h>

  OM_uint32 gss_inquire_mechs_for_name(
	  OM_uint32 * minor_status,
	  const gss_name_t input_name,
	  gss_OID_set * mech_types );

PARAMETERS
  minor_status
	  Kerberos 5 error code.

  input_name
	  Name to be queried.

	  The application must obtain the name beforehand using a function
	  such as gss_import_name().

  mech_types
	  Object identifier (OID) set of security mechanisms that may support
	  the specified name.

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

DESCRIPTION
  The gss_inquire_mechs_for_name() function identifies the mechanisms that
  can process the specified name. Since Kerberos 5 is the only security
  mechanism supported by the HP Application Security Toolkit, this function
  always returns it as the only security mechanism in the OID set.

  This function is intended for use with applications that are designed for
  multiple mechanisms.

RETURN VALUES
  GSS_S_BAD_NAME		  xx02xxxx
  GSS_S_BAD_NAMETYPE		  xx03xxxx
  GSS_S_CALL_INACCESSIBLE_READ	  01xxxxxx
  GSS_S_CALL_INACCESSIBLE_WRITE	  02xxxxxx
  GSS_S_COMPLETE		  00000000
  GSS_S_FAILURE			  xx0Dxxxx
