+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+Allows an application to determine the maximum message size that,
+if presented to
+.Xr gss_wrap 3
+with the same
+.Dv conf_req_flag
+and
+.Dv qop_req
+parameters,
+will result in an output token containing no more than
+.Dv req_output_size
+bytes.
+.Pp
+This call is intended for use by applications that
+communicate over protocols that impose a maximum message size.
+It enables the application to fragment messages prior to applying protection.
+.Pp
+GSS-API implementations are recommended but not required to detect
+invalid QOP values when
+.Fn gss_wrap_size_limit
+is called.
+This routine guarantees only a maximum message size,
+not the availability of specific QOP values for message protection.
+.Pp
+Successful completion of this call does not guarantee that
+.Xr gss_wrap 3
+will be able to protect a message of length max_input_size bytes,
+since this ability may depend on the availability of system resources
+at the time that
+.Xr gss_wrap 3
+is called.
+However, if the implementation itself imposes an upper limit on
+the length of messages that may be processed by gss_wrap,
+the implementation should not return a value via
+.Dv max_input_bytes
+that is greater than this length.
+.Sh PARAMETERS
+.Bl -tag
+.It minor_status
+Mechanism specific status code.
+.It context_handle
+A handle that refers to the security over which the messages will be sent.
+.It conf_req_flag
+Indicates whether
+.Xr gss_wrap 3
+will be asked to apply confidentiality protection
+in addition to integrity protection.
+.It qop_req
+Indicates the level of protection that
+.Xr gss_wrap 3
+will be asked to provide.
+.It req_output_size
+The desired maximum size for tokens emitted by
+.Xr gss_wrap 3 .
+.It max_input_size
+The maximum input message size that may be presented to
+.Xr gss_wrap 3
+in order to guarantee that the emitted token shall
+be no larger than
+.Dv req_output_size
+bytes.
+.El
+.Sh RETURN VALUES

+.It GSS_S_NO_CONTEXT
+The referenced context could not be accessed.
+.It GSS_S_CONTEXT_EXPIRED
+The context has expired.
+.It GSS_S_BAD_QOP
+The specified QOP is not supported by the mechanism.
