NAME
     rpc_gss_get_mechanisms,               rpc_gss_get_mech_info,
     rpc_gss_get_versions, rpc_gss_is_installed - get information
     on mechanisms and RPC version

SYNOPSIS
     #include 

     char **rpc_gss_get_mechanisms();


     char **rpc_gss_get_mech_info(char *mech, rpc_gss_service_t *service);


     bool_t rpc_gss_get_versions(u_int *vers_hi, u_int *vers_lo);


     bool_t rpc_gss_is installed(char *mech);


DESCRIPTION
     These "convenience functions" return information  on  avail-
     able security mechanisms and versions of  RPCSEC_GSS .

     rpc_gss_get_mechanisms()     Returns  a  list  of  supported
                                  security  mechanisms as a null-
                                  terminated  list  of  character
                                  strings.


     rpc_gss_get_mech_info()      Takes two arguments:  an  ASCII
                                  string representing a mechanism
                                  type, for example,  kerberosv5,
                                  and     a    pointer    to    a
                                  rpc_gss_service_t         enum.
                                  rpc_gss_get_mech_info()    will
                                  return NULL upon error or if no
                                  /etc/gss/qop  file  is present.
                                  Otherwise, it returns  a  null-
                                  terminated  list  of  character
                                  strings of supported Quality of
                                  Protections   (QOPs)  for  this
                                  mechanism. NULL or  empty  list
                                  implies  only  that the default
                                  QOP is  available  and  can  be
                                  specified to routines that need
                                  to take a QOP string  parameter
                                  as NULL or as an empty string.

                                     rpc_gss_get_mechanisms(3NSL)



     rpc_gss_get_versions()       Returns the highest and  lowest
                                  versions  of   RPCSEC_GSS  sup-
                                  ported.


     rpc_gss_is_installed()       Takes    an    ASCII     string
                                  representing  a  mechanism, and
                                  returns TRUE if  the  mechanism
                                  is installed.


PARAMETERS
     Information on RPCSEC_GSS data types for parameters  may  be
     found on the rpcsec_gss(3NSL) man page.

     mech        An  ASCII  string  representing   the   security
                 mechanism  in  use.   Valid  strings may also be
                 found in the /etc/gss/mech file.


     service     A   pointer   to   a   rpc_gss_service_t   enum,
                 representing   the   current   security  service
                 (privacy, integrity, or none).


     vers_hi     The highest and lowest  versions  of  RPCSEC_GSS
     vers_lo     supported.


FILES
     /etc/gss/mech     File containing valid security mechanisms


     /etc/gss/qop      File containing valid QOP values
