.PP
Encrypts or sign the data.
.PP
This is a more complicated version of \fBgss_wrap()\fP, it allows the caller to use AEAD data (signed header/trailer) and allow greater controll over where the encrypted data is placed.
.PP
The maximum packet size is gss_context_stream_sizes.max_msg_size.
.PP
The caller needs provide the folloing buffers when using in conf_req_flag=1 mode:
.PP
.IP "\(bu" 2
HEADER (of size gss_context_stream_sizes.header) { DATA or SIGN_ONLY } (optional, zero or more) PADDING (of size gss_context_stream_sizes.blocksize, if zero padding is zero, can be omitted) TRAILER (of size gss_context_stream_sizes.trailer)
.PP
.PP
.IP "\(bu" 2
on DCE-RPC mode, the caller can skip PADDING and TRAILER if the DATA elements is padded to a block bountry and header is of at least size gss_context_stream_sizes.header + gss_context_stream_sizes.trailer.
.PP
.PP
HEADER, PADDING, TRAILER will be shrunken to the size required to transmit any of them too large.
.PP
To generate \fBgss_wrap()\fP compatible packets, use: HEADER | DATA | PADDING | TRAILER
.PP
When used in conf_req_flag=0,
.PP
.IP "\(bu" 2
HEADER (of size gss_context_stream_sizes.header) { DATA or SIGN_ONLY } (optional, zero or more) PADDING (of size gss_context_stream_sizes.blocksize, if zero padding is zero, can be omitted) TRAILER (of size gss_context_stream_sizes.trailer)
.PP
.PP
The input sizes of HEADER, PADDING and TRAILER can be fetched using \fBgss_wrap_iov_length()\fP or gss_context_query_attributes(). 
.SS "GSSAPI_LIB_FUNCTION OM_uint32 GSSAPI_LIB_CALL gss_wrap_iov_length (OM_uint32 * minor_status, gss_ctx_id_t context_handle, int conf_req_flag, gss_qop_t qop_req, int * conf_state, gss_iov_buffer_desc * iov, int iov_count)"
