48.Sh DESCRIPTION
49Obtains information about a credential.
50.Sh PARAMETERS
51.Bl -tag -width ".It minor_status"
52.It minor_status
53Mechanism specific status code.
54.It cred_handle
55A handle that refers to the target credential.
56Specify
57.Dv GSS_C_NO_CREDENTIAL
58to inquire about the default initiator principal.
59.It name
60The name whose identity the credential asserts.
61Storage associated with this name should be freed by the application
62after use with a call to
63.Fn gss_release_name .
64Specify
65.Dv NULL
66if not required.
67.It lifetime
68The number of seconds for which the credential will remain valid.
69If the credential has expired,
70this parameter will be set to zero.
71If the implementation does not support credential expiration,
72the value GSS_C_INDEFINITE will be returned.
73Specify
74.Dv NULL
75if not required.
76.It cred_usage
77How the credential may be used.

85.Dv GSS_C_BOTH
86.El
87Specify
88.Dv NULL
89if not required.
90.It mechanisms
91Set of mechanisms supported by the credential.
92Storage associated with this OID set must be freed by the application
93after use with a call to
94.Fn gss_release_oid_set .
95Specify
96.Dv NULL
97if not required.

106The referenced credentials were invalid
107.It GSS_S_CREDENTIALS_EXPIRED
108The referenced credentials have expired.
109If the lifetime parameter was not passed as
110.Dv NULL ,
111it will be set to 0
