Detailed Description

Create/Destroy/Modify a GSI Proxy Handle.

Within the Globus GSI Proxy Library, all proxy operations require a handle parameter. Currently, only one proxy operation may be in progress at once per proxy handle.

This section defines operations to create, modify and destroy GSI Proxy handles.

Typedef Documentation

globus_gsi_proxy_handle_t

typedef struct globus_l_gsi_proxy_handle_s* globus_gsi_proxy_handle_t

GSI Proxy Handle.

An GSI Proxy handle is used to associate state with a group of operations. Handles can have immutable attributes associated with them. All proxy operations take a handle pointer as a parameter.
