NAME
gss_wrap_size_limit - API function
SYNOPSIS
#include <gss.h>
OM_uint32 gss_wrap_size_limit(OM_uint32 * minor_status, const
gss_ctx_id_t context_handle, int conf_req_flag, gss_qop_t qop_req,
OM_uint32 req_output_size, OM_uint32 * max_input_size);
ARGUMENTS
OM_uint32 * minor_status
(Integer, modify) Mechanism specific status code.
const gss_ctx_id_t context_handle
(gss_ctx_id_t, read) A handle that refers to the
security over which the messages will be sent.
int conf_req_flag
(Boolean, read) Indicates whether gss_wrap will be
asked to apply confidentiality protection in addition to
integrity protection. See the routine description for
gss_wrap
for more details.
gss_qop_t qop_req
(gss_qop_t, read) Indicates the level of protection that
gss_wrap will be asked to provide. See the routine
description
for gss_wrap for more details.
OM_uint32 req_output_size
(Integer, read) The desired maximum size for
tokens emitted by gss_wrap.
OM_uint32 * max_input_size
(Integer, modify) The maximum input message size
that may be presented to gss_wrap in order to guarantee
that the
emitted token shall be no larger than req_output_size
bytes.
DESCRIPTION
Allows an application to determine the maximum message size that, if
presented to gss_wrap with the same conf_req_flag and qop_req parame‐
ters, will result in an output token containing no more than req_out‐
put_size bytes.
This call is intended for use by applications that communicate over
protocols that impose a maximum message size. It enables the applica‐
tion to fragment messages prior to applying protection.
GSS-API implementations are recommended but not required to detect
invalid QOP values when gss_wrap_size_limit() is called. This routine
guarantees only a maximum message size, not the availability of spe‐
cific QOP values for message protection.
Successful completion of this call does not guarantee that gss_wrap
will be able to protect a message of length max_input_size bytes, since
this ability may depend on the availability of system resources at the
time that gss_wrap is called. However, if the implementation itself
imposes an upper limit on the length of messages that may be processed
by gss_wrap, the implementation should not return a value via
max_input_bytes that is greater than this length.
RETURN VALUE
`GSS_S_COMPLETE`: Successful completion.
`GSS_S_NO_CONTEXT`: The referenced context could not be accessed.
`GSS_S_CONTEXT_EXPIRED`: The context has expired.
`GSS_S_BAD_QOP`: The specified QOP is not supported by the mechanism.
