NAME

       gss_release_buffer - free buffer storage allocated by a GSS-API function

SYNOPSIS

       cc -flag ...  file ...-lgss [library ...]
       #include <gssapi/gssapi.h>

       OM_uint32 gss_release_buffer(OM_uint32 *minor_status, gss_buffer_tbuffer);

DESCRIPTION

	The  gss_release_buffer()  function frees buffer storage allocated by a GSS-API function. The gss_release_buffer() function also zeros the
       length field in the descriptor to which the buffer parameter refers, while the GSS-API function sets the pointer field in the descriptor to
       NULL.  Any  buffer  object  returned by a GSS-API function may be passed to gss_release_buffer(), even if no storage is associated with the
       buffer.

PARAMETERS

       The parameter descriptions for gss_release_buffer() follow:

       minor_status    Mechanism-specific status code.

       buffer	       The storage associated with the buffer will be deleted.	The gss_buffer_desc() object  will  not  be  freed;  however,  its
		       length field will be zeroed.

ERRORS

       The gss_release_buffer() function may return the following status codes:

       GSS_S_COMPLETE	       Successful completion

       GSS_S_FAILURE	       The  underlying	mechanism  detected an error for which no specific GSS status code is defined.	The mechanism-spe-
			       cific status code reported by means of the minor_status parameter details the error condition.

NAME

       gss_display_name - convert internal-form name to text

SYNOPSIS

       cc [flag ...]  file... -lgss [library ...]
       #include <gssapi/gssapi.h>

       OM_uint32   gss_display_name(OM_uint32	*minor_status,	 const	gss_name_t  input_name,  gss_buffer_t  output_name_buffer,  gss_OID  *out-
       put_name_type);

DESCRIPTION

       The gss_display_name() function allows an application to obtain a textual representation of an opaque internal-form  name for display  pur-
       poses.

       If  input_name denotes an anonymous principal, the GSS-API returns the gss_OID value GSS_C_NT_ANONYMOUS as the output_name_type, and a tex-
       tual name that is syntactically distinct from all valid supported printable names in output_name_buffer.

       If input_name was created by a call to gss_import_name(3GSS), specifying GSS_C_NO_OID as the name-type, the GSS-API returns GSS_C_NO_OID by
       means of the output_name_type parameter.

PARAMETERS

       The parameter descriptions for gss_display_name() follow:

       minor_status	       Mechanism-specific status code.

       input_name	       Name in internal form.

       output_name_buffer      Buffer to receive textual name string. The application must free storage associated with this name after use with a
			       call to gss_release_buffer(3GSS).

       output_name_type        The type of the returned name.  The returned gss_OID will be a pointer into static storage and should be treated as
			       read-only by the caller. In particular, the application should not attempt to free it. Specify NULL if this parame-
			       ter is not required.

ERRORS

       The gss_display_name() function may return the following status codes:

       GSS_S_COMPLETE	       Successful completion.

       GSS_S_BAD_NAME	       The input_name was ill-formed.

       GSS_S_FAILURE	       The underlying mechanism detected an error for which no specific GSS status code is  defined.   The  mechanism-spe-
			       cific status code reported by means of the minor_status parameter details the error condition.
