49.Sh DESCRIPTION
50Allows an application to determine the maximum message size that,
51if presented to
52.Xr gss_wrap 3
53with the same
54.Dv conf_req_flag
55and
56.Dv qop_req
57parameters,
58will result in an output token containing no more than
59.Dv req_output_size
60bytes.
61.Pp
62This call is intended for use by applications that
63communicate over protocols that impose a maximum message size.
64It enables the application to fragment messages prior to applying protection.
65.Pp
66GSS-API implementations are recommended but not required to detect
67invalid QOP values when
68.Fn gss_wrap_size_limit
69is called.
70This routine guarantees only a maximum message size,
71not the availability of specific QOP values for message protection.
72.Pp
73Successful completion of this call does not guarantee that
74.Xr gss_wrap 3
75will be able to protect a message of length max_input_size bytes,
76since this ability may depend on the availability of system resources
77at the time that
78.Xr gss_wrap 3
79is called.
80However, if the implementation itself imposes an upper limit on
81the length of messages that may be processed by gss_wrap,
82the implementation should not return a value via
83.Dv max_input_bytes
84that is greater than this length.
85.Sh PARAMETERS
86.Bl -tag -width ".It req_output_size"
87.It minor_status
88Mechanism specific status code.
89.It context_handle
90A handle that refers to the security over which the messages will be sent.
91.It conf_req_flag
92Indicates whether
93.Xr gss_wrap 3
94will be asked to apply confidentiality protection
95in addition to integrity protection.
96.It qop_req
97Indicates the level of protection that
98.Xr gss_wrap 3
99will be asked to provide.
100.It req_output_size
101The desired maximum size for tokens emitted by
102.Xr gss_wrap 3 .
103.It max_input_size
104The maximum input message size that may be presented to
105.Xr gss_wrap 3
106in order to guarantee that the emitted token shall
107be no larger than
108.Dv req_output_size
109bytes.
110.El
111.Sh RETURN VALUES
112.Bl -tag -width ".It GSS_S_CONTEXT_EXPIRED"
113.It GSS_S_COMPLETE
114Successful completion.
115.It GSS_S_NO_CONTEXT
116The referenced context could not be accessed.
117.It GSS_S_CONTEXT_EXPIRED
118The context has expired.
119.It GSS_S_BAD_QOP
120The specified QOP is not supported by the mechanism.
