It enables the application to fragment messages prior to applying protection. .Pp GSS-API implementations are recommended but not required to detect invalid QOP values when .Fn gss_wrap_size_limit is called. This routine guarantees only a maximum message size, not the availability of specific QOP values for message protection. .Pp Successful completion of this call does not guarantee that .Xr 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 .Xr 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 .Dv max_input_bytes that is greater than this length. .Sh PARAMETERS .Bl -tag -width ".It req_output_size" .It minor_status Mechanism specific status code. .It context_handle A handle that refers to the security over which the messages will be sent. .It conf_req_flag Indicates whether .Xr gss_wrap 3 will be asked to apply confidentiality protection in addition to integrity protection. .It qop_req Indicates the level of protection that .Xr gss_wrap 3 will be asked to provide. .It req_output_size The desired maximum size for tokens emitted by .Xr gss_wrap 3 . .It max_input_size The maximum input message size that may be presented to .Xr gss_wrap 3 in order to guarantee that the emitted token shall be no larger than .Dv req_output_size bytes. .El .Sh RETURN VALUES .Bl -tag -width ".It GSS_S_CONTEXT_EXPIRED" .It GSS_S_COMPLETE Successful completion. .It GSS_S_NO_CONTEXT The referenced context could not be accessed. .It GSS_S_CONTEXT_EXPIRED The context has expired. .It GSS_S_BAD_QOP The specified QOP is not supported by the mechanism. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr gss_wrap 3 .Sh STANDARDS .Bl -tag -width ".It RFC 2743" .It RFC 2743 Generic Security Service Application Program Interface Version 2, Update 1 .It RFC 2744 Generic Security Service API Version 2 : C-bindings .El .Sh HISTORY The .Nm function first appeared in .Fx 7.0 . .Sh AUTHORS John Wray, Iris Associates .Sh COPYRIGHT Copyright (C) The Internet Society (2000).
