+.Fc
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+Returns the set of mechanisms supported by the GSS-API implementation
+that may be able to process the specified name.
+.Pp
+
+Each mechanism returned will recognize at least one element within the
+name.
+It is permissible for this routine to be implemented within a
+mechanism-independent GSS-API layer,
+using the type information contained within the presented name,
+and based on registration information provided by individual mechanism
+implementations.
+This means that the returned
+.Fa mech_types
+set may indicate that a particular mechanism will understand the name
+when in fact it would refuse to accept the name as input to
+.Fn gss_canonicalize_name ,
+.Fn gss_init_sec_context ,
+.Fn gss_acquire_cred
+or
+.Fn gss_add_cred
+(due to some property of the specific name, as opposed to the name
+type).
+Thus this routine should be used only as a pre-filter for a call to a
+subsequent mechanism-specific routine.
+.Sh PARAMETERS
+.Bl -tag
+.It minor_status
+Mechanism specific status code.
+.It input_name
+The name to which the inquiry relates.
+.It mech_types
+Set of mechanisms that may support the specified name.
+The returned OID set must be freed by the caller after use with a call
+to
+.Fn gss_release_oid_set .
