.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBgss_context_time()\fR function determines the number of seconds for which the specified context will remain valid.
.SH PARAMETERS
.sp
.LP
The parameter descriptions for \fBgss_context_time()\fR are as follows:
.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fIminor_status\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 18n
.rt  
A mechanism-specific status code.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fIcontext_handle\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 18n
.rt  
A read-only value. Identifies the context to be interrogated.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fItime_rec\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 18n
.rt  
Modifies the number of seconds that the context remains valid.  If the context has already expired, returns zero.
.RE

.SH ERRORS
.sp
.LP
The \fBgss_context_time()\fR function returns one of the following status codes:
.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fBGSS_S_COMPLETE\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 25n
.rt

.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fBGSS_S_CONTEXT_EXPIRED\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 25n
.rt  
The context has already expired.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fBGSS_S_NO_CONTEXT\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 25n
.rt  
The \fIcontext_handle\fR parameter did not identify a valid context.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fBGSS_S_FAILURE\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 25n
.rt  
The underlying mechanism detected an error for which no specific \fBGSS\fR status code is defined.  The mechanism-specific status code reported by means of the \fIminor_status\fR parameter details the error condition.
