GSS_WRAP_SIZE_LIMIT(3)	      Programmer's Manual	GSS_WRAP_SIZE_LIMIT(3)

NAME
     gss_wrap_size_limit — Determine maximum message sizes

SYNOPSIS
     #include <gssapi/gssapi.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);

DESCRIPTION
     Allows an application to determine the maximum message size that, if pre‐
     sented to gss_wrap(3) with the same conf_req_flag and qop_req parameters,
     will result in an output token containing no more than req_output_size
     bytes.

     This call is intended for use by applications that communicate over pro‐
     tocols that impose a maximum message size.	 It enables the application 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 specific
     QOP values for message protection.

     Successful completion of this call does not guarantee that gss_wrap(3)
     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(3) 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.

PARAMETERS
     minor_status  Mechanism specific status code.

     context_handle
		   A handle that refers to the security over which the mes‐
		   sages will be sent.

     conf_req_flag
		   Indicates whether gss_wrap(3) will be asked to apply confi‐
		   dentiality protection in addition to integrity protection.

     qop_req	   Indicates the level of protection that gss_wrap(3) will be
		   asked to provide.

     req_output_size
		   The desired maximum size for tokens emitted by gss_wrap(3).

     max_input_size
		   The maximum input message size that may be presented to
		   gss_wrap(3) in order to guarantee that the emitted token
		   shall be no larger than req_output_size bytes.

RETURN VALUES
     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.
