 NAME
gss_context_time - determine how long a context will remain valid
 SYNOPSIS

cc [ flag... ] file... -lgss [ library... ]
#include <gssapi/gssapi.h>

OM_uint32 gss_context_time(OM_uint32 *minor_status,
 gss_ctx_id_t *context_handle,OM_uint32 *time_rec);


 DESCRIPTION

The gss_context_time() function determines the number of seconds for
which the specified context will remain valid.
 PARAMETERS

The parameter descriptions for gss_context_time() are as follows:

minor_status

A mechanism-specific status code.


context_handle

A read-only value. Identifies the context to be interrogated.


time_rec

Modifies the number of seconds that the context remains valid. If the context
has already expired, returns zero.


 ERRORS

The gss_context_time() function returns one of the following status
codes:

GSS_S_COMPLETE

Successful completion.


GSS_S_CONTEXT_EXPIRED

The context has already expired.


GSS_S_NO_CONTEXT

The context_handle parameter did not identify a valid context.


GSS_S_FAILURE

The underlying mechanism detected an error for which no specific GSS
status code is defined. The mechanism-specific status code reported by means
of the minor_status parameter details the error condition.
