NAME
gss_create_empty_oid_set - Create a set containing no object identifiers

SYNOPSIS
#include <gssapi/gssapi.h>
OM_uint32
gss_create_empty_oid_set(OM_uint32 *minor_status, gss_OID_set *oid_set);

DESCRIPTION
Create an object-identifier set containing no object identifiers, to which members may be subsequently added using the gss_add_oid_set_member() routine. These routines are intended to be used to construct sets of mechanism object identifiers for input to gss_acquire_cred().

PARAMETERS

minor_status
    Mechanism specific status code.

oid_set
    The empty object identifier set. The routine will allocate the gss_OID_set_desc object, which the application must free after use with a call to gss_release_oid_set().

RETURN VALUES

GSS_S_COMPLETE
    Successful completion
