47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48Allows an application to determine the maximum message size that,
49if presented to
50.Xr gss_wrap 3
51with the same
52.Dv conf_req_flag
53and
54.Dv qop_req
55parameters,
56will result in an output token containing no more than
57.Dv req_output_size
58bytes.
59.Pp
60This call is intended for use by applications that
61communicate over protocols that impose a maximum message size.
62It enables the application to fragment messages prior to applying protection.
63.Pp
64GSS-API implementations are recommended but not required to detect
65invalid QOP values when
66.Fn gss_wrap_size_limit
67is called.
68This routine guarantees only a maximum message size,
69not the availability of specific QOP values for message protection.
70.Pp
71Successful completion of this call does not guarantee that
72.Xr gss_wrap 3
73will be able to protect a message of length max_input_size bytes,
74since this ability may depend on the availability of system resources
75at the time that
76.Xr gss_wrap 3
77is called.
78However, if the implementation itself imposes an upper limit on
79the length of messages that may be processed by gss_wrap,
80the implementation should not return a value via
81.Dv max_input_bytes
82that is greater than this length.
83.Sh PARAMETERS
84.Bl -tag -width ".It req_output_size"
85.It minor_status
86Mechanism specific status code.
87.It context_handle
88A handle that refers to the security over which the messages will be sent.
89.It conf_req_flag
90Indicates whether
91.Xr gss_wrap 3
92will be asked to apply confidentiality protection
93in addition to integrity protection.
94.It qop_req
95Indicates the level of protection that
96.Xr gss_wrap 3
97will be asked to provide.
98.It req_output_size
99The desired maximum size for tokens emitted by
100.Xr gss_wrap 3 .
101.It max_input_size
102The maximum input message size that may be presented to
103.Xr gss_wrap 3
104in order to guarantee that the emitted token shall
105be no larger than
106.Dv req_output_size
107bytes.
108.El
109.Sh RETURN VALUES
110.Bl -tag -width ".It GSS_S_CONTEXT_EXPIRED"
111.It GSS_S_COMPLETE
112Successful completion.
113.It GSS_S_NO_CONTEXT
114The referenced context could not be accessed.
115.It GSS_S_CONTEXT_EXPIRED
116The context has expired.
117.It GSS_S_BAD_QOP
118The specified QOP is not supported by the mechanism.
