.Fa "OM_uint32 *minor_status"

.Sh DESCRIPTION
Verifies that a cryptographic MIC,
contained in the token parameter,
fits the supplied message.
The
.Fa qop_state
parameter allows a message recipient to determine the strength of
protection that was applied to the message.
.Pp
Since some application-level protocols may wish to use tokens emitted
by
.Fn gss_wrap
to provide "secure framing",
implementations must support the calculation and verification of MICs
over zero-length messages.
.Pp
The
.Fn gss_verify
routine is an obsolete variant of
.Fn gss_verify_mic .
It is provided for backwards
compatibility with applications using the GSS-API V1 interface.
A distinct entrypoint (as opposed to #define) is provided,
both to allow GSS-API V1 applications to link
and to retain the slight parameter type differences between the
obsolete versions of this routine and its current form.
.Sh PARAMETERS
.Bl -tag -width ".It context_handle"
.It minor_status
Mechanism specific status code.
.It context_handle
Identifies the context on which the message arrived.
.It message_buffer
Message to be verified.
.It token_buffer
Token associated with message.
.It qop_state
Quality of protection gained from MIC.
Specify
.Dv NULL
if not required.
.El
.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Bl -tag -width ".It GSS_S_CONTEXT_EXPIRED"
.It GSS_S_COMPLETE
Successful completion
.It GSS_S_DEFECTIVE_TOKEN
The token failed consistency checks
.It GSS_S_BAD_SIG
The MIC was incorrect
.It GSS_S_DUPLICATE_TOKEN
The token was valid,
and contained a correct MIC for the message,
but it had already been processed
.It GSS_S_OLD_TOKEN
The token was valid,
and contained a correct MIC for the message,
but it is too old to check for duplication
.It GSS_S_UNSEQ_TOKEN
The token was valid,
and contained a correct MIC for the message,
but has been verified out of sequence;
a later token has already been received.
.It GSS_S_GAP_TOKEN
The token was valid,
and contained a correct MIC for the message,
but has been verified out of sequence;
an earlier expected token has not yet been received
.It GSS_S_CONTEXT_EXPIRED
The context has already expired
.It GSS_S_NO_CONTEXT
The context_handle parameter did not identify a valid context
