The General Security Services API

There are no defined exceptions for reporting errors.
Errors should be reported using the major_status and minor_status
codes as much as possible.
Invalid_argument may be raised for clear violations of calling
requirements, e.g. when an opaque object is passed to this interface
that was not returned by it before.
The following three exceptions can be used to wrap the per-GSSAPI types
credential, context, and name:
exception Credential of credential
exception Context of context
exception Name of name
class type gss_api =[[credential, name
, context]]Netsys_gssapi.poly_gss_api
The methods have generally a type of the form
val interface : gss_api
