RPC_GSS_GET_ERROR(3NSL)RPC_GSS_GET_ERROR(3NSL)NAMErpc_gss_get_error - get error codes on failure
SYNOPSIS
#include <rpc/rpcsec_gss.h>
bool_t rpc_gss_get_error(rpc_gss_error_t*error);
DESCRIPTIONrpc_gss_get_error() fetches an error code when an RPCSEC_GSS routine
fails.
rpc_gss_get_error() uses a rpc_gss_error_t structure of the following
form:
typedef struct {
int rpc_gss_error; RPCSEC_GSS error
int system_error; system error
} rpc_gss_error_t;
Currently the only error codes defined for this function are
#define RPC_GSS_ER_SUCCESS 0 /* no error */
#define RPC_GSS_ER_SYSTEMERROR 1 /* system error */
PARAMETERS
Information on RPCSEC_GSS data types for parameters may be found on the
rpcsec_gss(3NSL) man page.
error
A rpc_gss_error_t structure. If the rpc_gss_error field is
equal to RPC_GSS_ER_SYSTEMERROR, the system_error field
will be set to the value of errno.
RETURN VALUES
Unless there is a failure indication from an invoked RPCSEC_GSS func‐
tion, rpc_gss_get_error() does not set error to a meaningful value.
