   Routine                         Function
   -------                         --------
   gss_init_sec_context            Initiate a security context with
                                   a peer application.
   gss_accept_sec_context          Accept a security context
                                   initiated by a peer application.
   gss_delete_sec_context          Discard a security context.
   gss_process_context_token       Process a token on a security
                                   context from a peer application.
   gss_context_time                Determine for how long a context
                                   will remain valid.
   gss_inquire_context             Obtain information about a
                                   security context.
   gss_wrap_size_limit             Determine token-size limit for
                                   gss_wrap on a context.
   gss_export_sec_context          Transfer a security context to
                                   another process.
   gss_import_sec_context          Import a transferred context.
