77Obtains information about a credential.
78.Sh PARAMETERS
79.Bl -tag
80.It minor_status
81Mechanism specific status code.
82.It cred_handle
83A handle that refers to the target credential.
84Specify
85.Dv GSS_C_NO_CREDENTIAL
86to inquire about the default initiator principal.
87.It name
88The name whose identity the credential asserts.
89Storage associated with this name should be freed by the application
90after use with a call to
91.Fn gss_release_name .
92Specify
93.Dv NULL
94if not required.
95.It lifetime
96The number of seconds for which the credential will remain valid.
97If the credential has expired,
98this parameter will be set to zero.
99If the implementation does not support credential expiration,
100the value GSS_C_INDEFINITE will be returned.
101Specify

115Specify
116.Dv NULL
117if not required.
118.It mechanisms
119Set of mechanisms supported by the credential.
120Storage associated with this OID set must be freed by the application
121after use with a call to
122.Fn gss_release_oid_set .
123Specify
