gss_inquire_mechs_for_name(3)	      gss	 gss_inquire_mechs_for_name(3)

NAME
       gss_inquire_mechs_for_name - API function

SYNOPSIS
       #include <gss.h>

       OM_uint32  gss_inquire_mechs_for_name(OM_uint32	*  minor_status, const
       gss_name_t input_name, gss_OID_set * mech_types);

ARGUMENTS
       OM_uint32 * minor_status
		   (Integer, modify) Mechanism specific status code.

       const gss_name_t input_name
		   (gss_name_t, read) The name to which the inquiry
		     relates.

       gss_OID_set * mech_types
		   (gss_OID_set, modify) Set of mechanisms that may
		     support the specified name.  The returned OID set must be
		   freed
		     by	   the	  caller    after   use	  with	 a   call   to
		   gss_release_oid_set().

DESCRIPTION
       Returns the set of mechanisms supported by the  GSS-API	implementation
       that may be able to process the specified name.

       Each  mechanism returned will recognize at least one element within the
       name.  It is permissible for this routine to be	implemented  within  a
       mechanism-independent  GSS-API  layer,  using the type information con‐
       tained within the presented name, and based on registration information
       provided	 by individual mechanism implementations.  This means that the
       returned mech_types set may indicate that a particular  mechanism  will
       understand  the name when in fact it would refuse to accept the name as
       input to gss_canonicalize_name, gss_init_sec_context,  gss_acquire_cred
       or  gss_add_cred (due to some property of the specific name, as opposed
       to the name type).  Thus this routine should be used  only  as  a  pre‐
       filter for a call to a subsequent mechanism-specific routine.

RETURN VALUE
       `GSS_S_COMPLETE`: Successful completion.

       `GSS_S_BAD_NAME`: The input_name parameter was ill-formed.

       `GSS_S_BAD_NAMETYPE`:  The input_name parameter contained an invalid or
       unsupported type of name.
