       GenerateMac, CSSM_GenerateMac, CSP_GenerateMac - Compute a
       message authentication code (CDSA)

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       # include <cdsa/cssm.h>

       API: CSSM_RETURN CSSMAPI CSSM_GenerateMac  (CSSM_CC_HANDLE
       CCHandle,  const CSSM_DATA *DataBufs, uint32 DataBufCount,
       CSSM_DATA_PTR Mac) SPI:  CSSM_RETURN  CSSMCSPI  CSP_GenerateMac
  (CSSM_CSP_HANDLE  CSPHandle, CSSM_CC_HANDLE CCHandle,
  const   CSSM_CONTEXT   *Context,   const   CSSM_DATA
       *DataBufs, uint32 DataBufCount, CSSM_DATA_PTR Mac)

LIBRARY    [Toc]    [Back]

       Common Security Services Manager library (libcssm.so)

API PARAMETERS    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  handle  that  describes  the  context of this cryptographic
 operation used to link to the CSP-managed information.
   A pointer to a vector of CSSM_DATA structures that
       contain the  data  to  be  operated  on.   The  number  of
       DataBufs.   A  pointer  to the CSSM_DATA structure for the
       Message Authentication Code.

SPI PARAMETERS    [Toc]    [Back]

       The handle that describes the add-in cryptographic service
       provider module used to perform calls to CSSM for the memory
 functions managed by CSSM.   Pointer  to  CSSM_CONTEXT
       structure that describes the attributes with this context.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       This function computes a message authentication  code  for
       all data contained in the set of input buffers.

NOTES ON API    [Toc]    [Back]

       The output is returned to the caller either by filling the
       caller-specified buffer  or  by  using  the  application's
       declared  memory  allocation  functions to allocate buffer
       space. To specify a specific, preallocated output  buffer,
       the  caller must provide an array of one or more CSSM_DATA
       structures, each containing a Length field  value  greater
       than  zero  and  a  non-NULL  data pointer field value. To
       specify automatic output buffer allocation by the CSP, the
       caller  must  provide  an  array  of one or more CSSM_DATA
       structures, each containing a Length field value equal  to
       zero  and a NULL data pointer field value. The application
       is always responsible for deallocating the memory when  it
       is no longer needed.

NOTES ON SPI    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  output  is  returned  to  the  caller as specified in
       Buffer Management for Cryptographic Services.

RETURN VALUE    [Toc]    [Back]

       A CSSM_RETURN value indicating  success  or  specifying  a
       particular  error  condition.  The value CSSM_OK indicates
       success. All other values represent an error condition.

ERRORS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Errors are described in the CDSA technical standard.   See
