SYNOPSIS
#include <gssapi/gssapi.h>
OM_uint32
gss_inquire_cred(OM_uint32 *minor_status,
const gss_cred_id_t cred_handle, gss_ctx_id_t *context_handle,
gss_name_t *name, OM_uint32 *lifetime, gss_cred_usage_t *cred_usage,
gss_OID_set *mechanisms);
DESCRIPTION
Obtains information about a credential.
PARAMETERS
minor_status Mechanism specific status code.
cred_handle A handle that refers to the target credential. Specify
GSS_C_NO_CREDENTIAL to inquire about the default initiator
principal.
name The name whose identity the credential asserts. Storage
associated with this name should be freed by the applica‐

NULL if not required.
lifetime The number of seconds for which the credential will remain
valid. If the credential has expired, this parameter will
be set to zero. If the implementation does not support
credential expiration, the value GSS_C_INDEFINITE will be

GSS_C_INITIATE
GSS_C_ACCEPT
GSS_C_BOTH
Specify NULL if not required.
mechanisms Set of mechanisms supported by the credential. Storage
associated with this OID set must be freed by the applica‐
tion after use with a call to gss_release_oid_set(). Spec‐
ify NULL if not required.
RETURN VALUES
GSS_S_COMPLETE
Successful completion
GSS_S_NO_CRED
The referenced credentials could not be accessed
GSS_S_DEFECTIVE_CREDENTIAL
The referenced credentials were invalid
GSS_S_CREDENTIALS_EXPIRED
