gss_krb5_unwrap(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 NAME 💅

okay so bestie, this is gss_krb5_unwrap from the Kernel API Manual ✨ and it is literally the gss_unwrap for the Kerberos GSS mechanism. no cap, that's the whole vibe of this page 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

the signature is giving main character energy, so here it is exactly:

u32 gss_krb5_unwrap (struct gss_ctx *gctx , int offset , int len ,
       struct xdr_buf *buf );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • gctx — initialized GSS context 💖
  • offset — starting byte offset into buf ✨
  • len — size of ciphertext to unwrap 🎀
  • buf — ciphertext to unwrap 🦋

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so like, the return values are the whole plot, and you need to know them, periodt:

  • GSS_S_COMPLETE — success, buf has been updated 👑
  • GSS_S_DEFECTIVE_TOKEN — received blob is not valid 💀
  • GSS_S_BAD_SIG — computed and received checksums do not match 😭
  • GSS_S_FAILURE — buf could not be unwrapped 🙈
  • GSS_S_CONTEXT_EXPIRED — Kerberos context is no longer valid 🫠
bestie, these are the exact return values from the page — don't let the cute energy make you forget them 💅
