Returns a human-readable name and description of a mechanism attribute.

Declaration

func gss_display_mech_attr(_ minor_status: UnsafeMutablePointer<OM_uint32>, _ mech_attr: gss_const_OID, _ name: gss_buffer_t?, _ short_desc: gss_buffer_t?, _ long_desc: gss_buffer_t?) -> OM_uint32

Parameters

  • minor_status:

    A pointer to the secondary status result that provides additional information in case of failure.

  • mech_attr:

    The mechanism attribute to examine. See Mechanisms and Authentication in Security Mechanisms for a list of possible values.

  • name:

    A buffer the function fills with a human readable version of the mechanism attribute. Release this buffer with a call to Gss_release_buffer(_:_:) when you are done with it.

  • short_desc:

    A buffer the function fills with a short description of the mechanism attribute. Release this buffer with a call to Gss_release_buffer(_:_:) when you are done with it.

  • long_desc:

    A buffer the function fills with a longer description of the mechanism attribute. Release this buffer with a call to Gss_release_buffer(_:_:) when you are done with it.

Return Value

A status code set to GSS_S_COMPLETE on success or GSS_S_BAD_MECH if the desired mechanism is unsupported. See Function Status for a complete enumeration of status outputs.
