NAME
       gss_inquire_context() - obtain information about a security context

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
       The  routine  provides  information  about  the security context to the
       calling application.  The calling application must  first  have	called
       the routine for a handle for the credential.

   Input Parameters
       context_handle	     A handle that refers to the security context.

   Output Parameters
       src_name		     The  name	of the context initiator.  If the con‐
			     text was established using anonymous  authentica‐
			     tion, and if the application invoking is the con‐
			     text  acceptor,  an  anonymous   name   will   be
			     returned.	Specify NULL if not required.

       context_handle	     The name of the context acceptor.	If the context
			     acceptor did not authenticate itself, and if  the
			     initiator	did  not  specify a target name in its
			     call to the value will be returned.  Specify NULL
			     if not required.

       lifetime_rec	     Returns  the number of seconds for which the cre‐
			     dential will remain  valid.   If  the  credential
			     expired,  the  parameter  returns a 0 (zero).  If
			     there is no credential expiration, the  parameter
			     returns  the  value  If an expiration time is not
			     required, specify NULL.

       targ_name	     The name of the context acceptor.	Storage	 asso‐
			     ciated with this name must be freed by the appli‐
			     cation after use with a call to

       mech_type	     The security  mechanism  providing	 the  context.
			     Specify NULL if not required

       ctx_flags	     Specifies	 independent   flags,  each  of	 which
			     requests  that  the  context  support  a  service
			     option.   The  following  symbolic names are pro‐
			     vided to correspond to each flag.	 The  symbolic
			     names should be logically ORed to form a bit-mask
			     value.

			     The True/False values are:

				True	  Credentials were  delegated  to  the
					  context acceptor.

				False	  No credentials were delegated.

			     The True/False values are:

				True	  The  context acceptor has been asked
					  to authenticate itself.

				False	  The context initiator has  not  been
					  asked to authenticates itself.

			     The True/False values are:

				True	  Replayed  signed  or sealed messages
					  will be detected.

				False	  Replayed  messages   will   not   be
					  detected.

			     The True/False values are:

				True	  Out-of-sequence   signed  or	sealed
					  messages will be detected.

				False	  Out-of-sequence  signed  or	sealed
					  messages will not be detected.

			     The True/False values are:

				True	  Request that confidentiality service
					  be made available

				False	  No per-message confidentiality  ser‐
					  vice is required.

			     The True/False values are:

				True	  Request that integrity service be be
					  made available

				False	  No per-message integrity service  is
					  required.

			     The True/False values are:

				True	  Do  not reveal the initiator's iden‐
					  tity to the acceptor.

				False	  Authenticate normally.

       cred_usage	     Returns one of the	 following  values  describing
			     how the application can use the credential:

			     If	 no  usage  information	 is  required, specify
			     NULL.

       mechs		     returns a set of security mechanisms supported by
			     the credential.  Specify NULL if not required.

       minor_status	     Returns  a	 status	 code from the security mecha‐
			     nism.

STATUS CODES
       The following status codes can be returned:

       The routine was completed successfully.

       The referenced context could not be accessed.

       The credentials were invalid.

       The routine failed.  Check the
				minor_status parameter for details.

       The routine could not access the credentials.
