gss_krb5_errno_to_status(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

gss_krb5_errno_to_status(9) — Kernel API Manual — is here, and bestie, it does exactly one iconic thing: it maps a negative errno to a GSS major status. 💅✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

u32 gss_krb5_errno_to_status (int err );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• err — a negative errno value, or zero. That's the whole argument, no extra baggage. 🎀

🔥 RETURN 🔥

Okay so the return value is basically a vibe check on your error code:

• GSS_S_COMPLETE — you get this when err is zero. Slay, nothing went wrong. ✨
• GSS_S_BAD_SIG — you get this when err is -EBADMSG, aka an integrity check failure. Not the cute kind of bad. 💀
• GSS_S_DEFECTIVE_TOKEN — you get this when err is -EPROTO, aka a malformed token. It's giving busted. 🙈
• GSS_S_FAILURE — for all other negative values. Periodt. 🫶
