  GSSAPI_LIB_FUNCTION OM_uint32 GSSAPI_LIB_CALL gss_add_oid_set_member (OM_uint32 * minor_status, const gss_OID member_oid, gss_OID_set * oid_set)
Add a oid to the oid set, function does not make a copy of the oid, so the pointer to member_oid needs to be stable for the whole time oid_set is used.

If there is a duplicate member of the oid, the new member is not added to to the set.

Parameters:
    minor_status minor status code.
    member_oid member to add to the oid set
    oid_set oid set to add the member too

Returns:
    a gss_error code, see gss_display_status() about printing the error code.

  GSSAPI_LIB_FUNCTION OM_uint32 GSSAPI_LIB_CALL gss_canonicalize_name (OM_uint32 * minor_status, gss_const_name_t input_name, const gss_OID mech_type, gss_name_t * output_name)
gss_canonicalize_name takes a Internal Name (IN) and converts in into a mechanism specific Mechanism Name (MN).

The input name may multiple name, or generic name types.

If the input_name if of the GSS_C_NT_USER_NAME, and the Kerberos mechanism is specified, the resulting MN type is a GSS_KRB5_NT_PRINCIPAL_NAME.

For more information about Internal names and mechanism names.

Parameters:
    minor_status minor status code.
    input_name name to covert, unchanged by gss_canonicalize_name().
    mech_type the type to convert Name too.
    output_name the resulting type, release with gss_release_name(), independent of input_name.

Returns:
    a gss_error code, see gss_display_status() about printing the error code.

  GSSAPI_LIB_FUNCTION OM_uint32 GSSAPI_LIB_CALL gss_release_name (OM_uint32 * minor_status, gss_name_t * input_name)

import_name can point to NULL or be NULL, or a pointer to a gss_name_t structure. If it was a pointer to gss_name_t, the pointer will be set to NULL on success and failure.

Parameters:
    minor_status minor status code
    input_name name to free

Returns:
    a gss_error code, see gss_display_status() about printing the error code.

  GSSAPI_LIB_FUNCTION OM_uint32 GSSAPI_LIB_CALL gss_unwrap_iov (OM_uint32 * minor_status, gss_ctx_id_t context_handle, int * conf_state, gss_qop_t * qop_state, gss_iov_buffer_desc * iov, int iov_count)
Decrypt or verifies the signature on the data.

  GSSAPI_LIB_FUNCTION OM_uint32 GSSAPI_LIB_CALL gss_wrap (OM_uint32 * minor_status, gss_const_ctx_id_t context_handle, int conf_req_flag, gss_qop_t qop_req, const gss_buffer_t input_message_buffer, int * conf_state, gss_buffer_t output_message_buffer)
Wrap a message using either confidentiality (encryption + signature) or sealing (signature).

Parameters:
    minor_status minor status code.
    context_handle context handle.
    conf_req_flag if non zero, confidentiality is requestd.
    qop_req type of protection needed, in most cases it GSS_C_QOP_DEFAULT should be passed in.
    input_message_buffer messages to wrap
    conf_state returns non zero if confidentiality was honoured.
    output_message_buffer the resulting buffer, release with gss_release_buffer().

  GSSAPI_LIB_FUNCTION OM_uint32 GSSAPI_LIB_CALL gss_wrap_iov (OM_uint32 * minor_status, gss_ctx_id_t context_handle, int conf_req_flag, gss_qop_t qop_req, int * conf_state, gss_iov_buffer_desc * iov, int iov_count)
Encrypts or sign the data.

This is a more complicated version of gss_wrap(), it allows the caller to use AEAD data (signed header/trailer) and allow greater controll over where the encrypted data is placed.

The maximum packet size is gss_context_stream_sizes.max_msg_size.

The caller needs provide the folloing buffers when using in conf_req_flag=1 mode:

•   HEADER (of size gss_context_stream_sizes.header) { DATA or SIGN_ONLY } (optional, zero or more) PADDING (of size gss_context_stream_sizes.blocksize, if zero padding is zero, can be omitted) TRAILER (of size gss_context_stream_sizes.trailer)

•   on DCE-RPC mode, the caller can skip PADDING and TRAILER if the DATA elements is padded to a block bountry and header is of at least size gss_context_stream_sizes.header + gss_context_stream_sizes.trailer.

HEADER, PADDING, TRAILER will be shrunken to the size required to transmit any of them too large.

To generate gss_wrap() compatible packets, use: HEADER | DATA | PADDING | TRAILER

When used in conf_req_flag=0,

•   HEADER (of size gss_context_stream_sizes.header) { DATA or SIGN_ONLY } (optional, zero or more) PADDING (of size gss_context_stream_sizes.blocksize, if zero padding is zero, can be omitted) TRAILER (of size gss_context_stream_sizes.trailer)

The input sizes of HEADER, PADDING and TRAILER can be fetched using gss_wrap_iov_length() or gss_context_query_attributes().

  GSSAPI_LIB_FUNCTION OM_uint32 GSSAPI_LIB_CALL gss_wrap_iov_length (OM_uint32 * minor_status, gss_ctx_id_t context_handle, int conf_req_flag, gss_qop_t qop_req, int * conf_state, gss_iov_buffer_desc * iov, int iov_count)
Update the length fields in iov buffer for the types:

•   GSS_IOV_BUFFER_TYPE_HEADER

•   GSS_IOV_BUFFER_TYPE_PADDING

•   GSS_IOV_BUFFER_TYPE_TRAILER

Consider using gss_context_query_attributes() to fetch the data instead.
