gss_release_buffer(3) gss gss_release_buffer(3) NAME
gss_release_buffer - API function SYNOPSIS
#include <gss.h> OM_uint32 gss_release_buffer(OM_uint32 * minor_status, gss_buffer_t buffer); ARGUMENTS
OM_uint32 * minor_status (integer, modify) Mechanism specific status code. gss_buffer_t buffer (buffer, modify) The storage associated with the buffer will be deleted. The gss_buffer_desc object will not be freed, but its length field will be zeroed. DESCRIPTION
Free storage associated with a buffer. The storage must have been allocated by a GSS-API routine. In addition to freeing the associated storage, the routine will zero the length field in the descriptor to which the buffer parameter refers, and implementations are encouraged to additionally set the pointer field in the descriptor to NULL. Any buffer object returned by a GSS-API routine may be passed to gss_release_buffer (even if there is no storage associated with the buffer). RETURN VALUE
`GSS_S_COMPLETE`: Successful completion. REPORTING BUGS

gss_export_name(3) gss gss_export_name(3) NAME
gss_export_name - API function SYNOPSIS
#include <gss.h> OM_uint32 gss_export_name(OM_uint32 * minor_status, const gss_name_t input_name, gss_buffer_t exported_name); ARGUMENTS
OM_uint32 * minor_status (Integer, modify) Mechanism specific status code. const gss_name_t input_name (gss_name_t, read) The MN to be exported. gss_buffer_t exported_name (gss_buffer_t, octet-string, modify) The canonical contiguous string form of input_name. Storage associated with this string must freed by the application after use with gss_release_buffer(). DESCRIPTION
To produce a canonical contiguous string representation of a mechanism name (MN), suitable for direct comparison (e.g. with memcmp) for use in authorization functions (e.g. matching entries in an access-control list). The input_name parameter must specify a valid MN (i.e. an internal name generated by gss_accept_sec_context() or by gss_canonicalize_name()). RETURN VALUE
`GSS_S_COMPLETE`: Successful completion. `GSS_S_NAME_NOT_MN`: The provided internal name was not a mechanism name. `GSS_S_BAD_NAME`: The provided internal name was ill-formed. `GSS_S_BAD_NAMETYPE`: The internal name was of a type not supported by the GSS-API implementation. REPORTING BUGS
