.TH RPC_GSS_MAX_DATA_LENGTH 3NSL "Feb 5, 2002"
.SH NAME
rpc_gss_max_data_length, rpc_gss_svc_max_data_length \- get maximum data length
for transmission
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
#include <rpc/rpcsec_gss.h>
\fBint\fR \fBrpc_gss_max_data_length\fR(\fBAUTH\fR \fI*handle\fR, \fBint\fR \fImax_tp_unit_len\fR);
.fi
.LP
.nf
\fBint\fR \fBrpc_gss_svc_max_data_length\fR(\fBstruct svc_req\fR \fI*req\fR, \fBint\fR \fImax_tp_unit_len\fR);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
Performing a security transformation on a piece of data generally produces
data with a different (usually greater) length. For some transports, such as
UDP, there is a maximum length of data which can be sent out in one data unit.
Applications need to know the maximum size a piece of data can be before it's
transformed, so that the resulting data will still "fit" on the transport.
These two functions return that maximum size.
.sp
.LP
\fBrpc_gss_max_data_length()\fR is the client-side version;
\fBrpc_gss_svc_max_data_length()\fR is the server-side version.
.SH PARAMETERS
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fIhandle\fR \fR
.ad
.RS 20n
An RPC context handle of type \fBAUTH,\fR returned when a context is created
(for example, by \fBrpc_gss_seccreate()\fR. Security service and QOP are bound
to this handle, eliminating any need to specify them.
.RE
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fImax_tp_unit_len\fR \fR
.ad
.RS 20n
The maximum size of a piece of data allowed by the transport.
.RE
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fIreq\fR \fR
.ad
.RS 20n
A pointer to an RPC \fBsvc_req\fR structure, containing information on the
context (for example, program number and credentials).
.RE
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
Both functions return the maximum size of untransformed data allowed, as an
\fBint\fR.
