56.Sh DESCRIPTION
57Generates a cryptographic MIC for the supplied message,
58and places the MIC in a token for transfer to the peer application.
59The
60.Fa qop_req
61parameter allows a choice between several cryptographic algorithms,
62if supported by the chosen mechanism.
63.Pp
64Since some application-level protocols may wish to use tokens emitted
65by
66.Fn gss_wrap
67to provide "secure framing",
68implementations must support derivation of MICs from zero-length messages.
69.Pp
70The
71.Fn gss_sign
72routine is an obsolete variant of
73.Fn gss_get_mic .
74It is
75provided for backwards
76compatibility with applications using the GSS-API V1 interface.
77A distinct entrypoint (as opposed to #define) is provided,
78both to allow GSS-API V1 applications to link
79and to retain the slight parameter type differences between the
80obsolete versions of this routine and its current form.
81.Sh PARAMETERS
82.Bl -tag -width ".It message_buffer"
83.It minor_status
84Mechanism specific status code.
85.It context_handle
86Identifies the context on which the message will be sent.
87.It qop_req
88Specifies requested quality of protection.
89Callers are encouraged, on portability grounds,
90to accept the default quality of protection offered by the chosen
91mechanism,
92which may be requested by specifying
93.Dv GSS_C_QOP_DEFAULT
94for this parameter.
95If an unsupported protection strength is requested,
96.Fn gss_get_mic
97will return a
98.Fa major_status
99of
100.Dv GSS_S_BAD_QOP .
101.It message_buffer
102Message to be protected.
103.It msg_token
104Buffer to receive token.
105The application must free storage associated with this buffer after
106use with a call to
107.Fn gss_release_buffer .
108.El
109.Sh RETURN VALUES
110.Bl -tag -width ".It GSS_S_CONTEXT_EXPIRED"
111.It GSS_S_COMPLETE
112Successful completion
113.It GSS_S_CONTEXT_EXPIRED
114The context has already expired
115.It GSS_S_NO_CONTEXT
116The context_handle parameter did not identify a valid context
117.It GSS_S_BAD_QOP
118The specified QOP is not supported by the mechanism
