48.Sh DESCRIPTION
49Obtains per-mechanism information about a credential.
50.Sh PARAMETERS
51.Bl -tag -width ".It initiator_lifetime"
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 mech_type
60The mechanism for which information should be returned.
61.It name
62The name whose identity the credential asserts.
63Storage associated with this name must 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 initiator_lifetime
70The number of seconds for which the credential will remain capable of
71initiating security contexts under the specified mechanism.
72If the credential can no longer be used to initiate contexts,
73or if the credential usage for this mechanism is
74.Dv GSS_C_ACCEPT ,
75this parameter will be set to zero.
76If the implementation does not support expiration of initiator
77credentials,
78the value
79.Dv GSS_C_INDEFINITE
80will be returned.
81Specify
82.Dv NULL
83if not required.
84.It acceptor_lifetime
85The number of seconds for which the credential will remain capable of
86accepting security contexts under the specified mechanism.
87If the credential can no longer be used to accept contexts,
88or if the credential usage for this mechanism is
89.Dv GSS_C_INITIATE ,
90this parameter will be set to zero.
91If the implementation does not support expiration of acceptor
92credentials,
93the value
94.Dv GSS_C_INDEFINITE
95will be returned.
96Specify
97.Dv NULL
98if not required.
99.It cred_usage
100How the credential may be used with the specified mechanism.
101One of the following:

116.It GSS_S_COMPLETE
117Successful completion
118.It GSS_S_NO_CRED
119The referenced credentials could not be accessed
120.It GSS_S_DEFECTIVE_CREDENTIAL
121The referenced credentials were invalid
122.It GSS_S_CREDENTIALS_EXPIRED
123The referenced credentials have expired.
124If the lifetime parameter was not passed as
125.Dv NULL ,
126it will be set to 0.
