.SH NAME
rpc_gss_get_error \- get error codes on failure
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
#include <rpc/rpcsec_gss.h> 

\fBbool_t\fR \fBrpc_gss_get_error\fR(\fBrpc_gss_error_t\fR\fI*error\fR);
.fi

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
\fBrpc_gss_get_error()\fR fetches an error code when an \fBRPCSEC_GSS\fR routine fails.
.sp
.LP
\fBrpc_gss_get_error()\fR uses a \fBrpc_gss_error_t\fR structure of the following form: 
.sp
.in +2
.nf
typedef struct {
int	rpc_gss_error;		\fIRPCSEC_GSS error\fR	
int	system_error;		\fIsystem error\fR   
} rpc_gss_error_t;
.fi
.in -2

.sp
.LP
Currently the only error codes defined for this function are 
.sp
.in +2
.nf
#define RPC_GSS_ER_SUCCESS		0	/* no error */
#define RPC_GSS_ER_SYSTEMERROR	1	/* system error */
.fi
.in -2

.rt  
A  \fBrpc_gss_error_t\fR structure.  If the \fBrpc_gss_error\fR field is equal to  \fBRPC_GSS_ER_SYSTEMERROR,\fR the  \fBsystem_error\fR field will be set to the value of \fBerrno\fR.

.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
Unless there is a failure indication from an invoked \fBRPCSEC_GSS\fR function,  \fBrpc_gss_get_error()\fR does not set \fBerror\fR to a meaningful value.
