38.Sh SYNOPSIS
39.In "gssapi/gssapi.h"
40.Ft OM_uint32
41.Fo gss_process_context_token
42.Fa "OM_uint32 *minor_status"
43.Fa "const gss_ctx_id_t context_handle"
44.Fa "const gss_buffer_t token_buffer"
45.Fc
46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47Provides a way to pass an asynchronous token to the security service.
48Most context-level tokens are emitted and processed synchronously by
49.Fn gss_init_sec_context
50and
51.Fn gss_accept_sec_context ,
52and the application is informed as to whether further tokens are
53expected by the
54.Dv GSS_C_CONTINUE_NEEDED
55major status bit.
56Occasionally,
57a mechanism may need to emit a context-level token at a point when the
58peer entity is not expecting a token.
59For example,
60the initiator's final call to
61.Fn gss_init_sec_context
62may emit a token and return a status of
63.Dv GSS_S_COMPLETE ,
64but the acceptor's call to
65.Fn gss_accept_sec_context
66may fail.
67The acceptor's mechanism may wish to send a token containing an error
68indication to the initiator,
69but the initiator is not expecting a token at this point,
70believing that the context is fully established.
71.Fn gss_process_context_token
72provides a way to pass such a token to the mechanism at any time.
