.SH PARAMETERS
.sp
.LP
The parameter descriptions for \fBgss_inquire_cred()\fR follow:
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fIminor_status\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 16n
Mechanism specific status code.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fIcred_handle\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 16n
Handle that refers to the target credential. Specify \fBGSS_C_NO_CREDENTIAL\fR
to inquire about the default initiator principal.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fIname\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 16n
Name of the identity asserted by the credential. Any storage associated with
this name should be freed by the application after use by a call to
\fBgss_release_name\fR(3GSS).
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fIlifetime\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 16n
Number of seconds for which the credential remains valid. If the credential has
expired, this parameter will be set to zero. Specify \fBNULL\fR if the
parameter is not required.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fIcred_usage\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 16n
Flag that indicates how a credential is used. The \fIcred_usage\fR parameter
may contain one of the following values: \fBGSS_C_INITIATE\fR,
\fBGSS_C_ACCEPT\fR, or \fBGSS_C_BOTH\fR. Specify \fBNULL\fR if this parameter
is not required.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fImechanisms\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 16n
Set of mechanisms supported by the credential. Storage for the returned
\fBOID\fR-set must be freed by the application after use by a call to
\fBgss_release_oid_set\fR(3GSS). Specify \fBNULL\fR if this parameter is not
required.
.RE

.SH DESCRIPTION

.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
The \fBgss_inquire_cred()\fR function can return the following status codes:
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBGSS_S_COMPLETE\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 30n
Successful completion.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBGSS_S_NO_CRED\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 30n

.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBGSS_S_DEFECTIVE_CREDENTIAL\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 30n
The referenced credentials were invalid.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBGSS_S_CREDENTIALS_EXPIRED\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 30n
The referenced credentials have expired. If the \fIlifetime\fR parameter was
not passed as \fBNULL\fR, it will be set to \fB0\fR.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBGSS_S_FAILURE\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 30n
The underlying mechanism detected an error for which no specific \fBGSS\fR
status code is defined. The mechanism-specific status code reported by means of
