84.Sh DESCRIPTION
85Generates a cryptographic MIC for the supplied message,
86and places the MIC in a token for transfer to the peer application.
87The
88.Fa qop_req
89parameter allows a choice between several cryptographic algorithms,
90if supported by the chosen mechanism.
91.Pp
92Since some application-level protocols may wish to use tokens emitted
93by
94.Fn gss_wrap
95to provide "secure framing",
96implementations must support derivation of MICs from zero-length messages.
97.Pp
98The
99.Fn gss_sign
100routine is an obsolete variant of
101.Fn gss_get_mic .
102It is
103provided for backwards
104compatibility with applications using the GSS-API V1 interface.
105A distinct entrypoint (as opposed to #define) is provided,
106both to allow GSS-API V1 applications to link
107and to retain the slight parameter type differences between the
108obsolete versions of this routine and its current form.
109.Sh PARAMETERS
110.Bl -tag
111.It minor_status
112Mechanism specific status code.
113.It context_handle
114Identifies the context on which the message will be sent.
115.It qop_req
116Specifies requested quality of protection.
117Callers are encouraged, on portability grounds,
118to accept the default quality of protection offered by the chosen
119mechanism,
120which may be requested by specifying
121.Dv GSS_C_QOP_DEFAULT
122for this parameter.
123If an unsupported protection strength is requested,
124.Fn gss_get_mic
125will return a
126.Fa major_status
127of
128.Dv GSS_S_BAD_QOP .
129.It message_buffer
130Message to be protected.
131.It msg_token
132Buffer to receive token.
133The application must free storage associated with this buffer after
134use with a call to
135.Fn gss_release_buffer .
136.El
137.Sh RETURN VALUES
138.Bl -tag
139.It GSS_S_COMPLETE
140Successful completion
141.It GSS_S_CONTEXT_EXPIRED
142The context has already expired
143.It GSS_S_NO_CONTEXT
144The context_handle parameter did not identify a valid context
145.It GSS_S_BAD_QOP
146The specified QOP is not supported by the mechanism
