50.Sh DESCRIPTION
51Obtains information about a credential.
52.Sh PARAMETERS
53.Bl -tag -width ".It minor_status"
54.It minor_status
55Mechanism specific status code.
56.It cred_handle
57A handle that refers to the target credential.

59.Dv GSS_C_NO_CREDENTIAL
60to inquire about the default initiator principal.
61.It name
62The name whose identity the credential asserts.
63Storage associated with this name should be freed by the application
64after use with a call to
65.Fn gss_release_name .
66Specify
67.Dv NULL
68if not required.
69.It lifetime
70The number of seconds for which the credential will remain valid.
71If the credential has expired,
72this parameter will be set to zero.
73If the implementation does not support credential expiration,
74the value GSS_C_INDEFINITE will be returned.

88.El
89Specify
90.Dv NULL
91if not required.
92.It mechanisms
93Set of mechanisms supported by the credential.
94Storage associated with this OID set must be freed by the application
95after use with a call to
96.Fn gss_release_oid_set .
97Specify
98.Dv NULL
99if not required.
