+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+This function is used to establish a security context between an
+application and a remote peer using the RPSEC_GSS protocol.
+.Sh PARAMETERS
+.Bl -tag -width "options_req"
+.It clnt
+An RPC handle which is connected to the remote peer
+.It principal
+The name of the service principal on the remote peer.
+For instance, a principal such as
+.Qq nfs@server.example.com
+might be used by an application which needs to contact an NFS server
+.It mechanism
+The desired mechanism for this security context.
+The value of mechanism should be the name of one of the security
+mechanisms listed in /etc/gss/mech.
+.It service
+Type of service requested.
+.Bl -tag -width "rpc_gss_svc_integrity"
+.It rpc_gss_svc_default
+The default - typically the same as
+.Dv rpc_gss_svc_none .
+.It rpc_gss_svc_none
+RPC headers only are integrity protected by a checksum.
+.It rpc_gss_svc_integrity
+RPC headers and data are integrity protected by a checksum.
+.It rpc_gss_svc_privacy
+RPC headers are integrity protected by a checksum and data is encrypted.
+.El
+.It qop
+Desired quality of protection or NULL for the default.
+Available values are listed in /etc/gss/qop
+.It options_req
+Extra security context options to be passed to the underlying GSS-API
+mechanism.
+Pass
+.Dv NULL
+to supply default values.
+.It options_ret
+Various values returned by the underlying GSS-API mechanism.
+Pass
+.Dv NULL
+if these values are not required.
+.El
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+If the security context was created successfully, a pointer to an
+.Vt AUTH
+structure that represents the context is returned.
+To use this security context for subsequent RPC calls, set
+.Va clnt->cl_auth
+to this value.
+.Sh AVAILABILITY
+The
+.Fn rpc_gss_seccreate
+function is part of libtirpc.
