gss_compare_name(3)					     Library Functions Manual					       gss_compare_name(3)

NAME

       gss_compare_name() - allow an application to compare two internal names to determine whether they are equivalent

SYNOPSIS


DESCRIPTION

       The routine lets an application compare two internal names to determine whether they are the same.  This routine does not resolve the names
       to see if they refer to the same object.  It simply compares the input names for equivalence.  If  either  name	presented  to  denotes	an
       anonymous principal, the routines should indicate that the two names do not refer to the same identity.

   Input Parameters
       name1		     Specifies the first internal name.

       name2		     Specifies the second internal name.

   Output Parameters
       name_equal	     Returns one of the following values:

				The names are the same.

				The names are not the same.

       minor_status	     Returns a status code from the security mechanism.

STATUS CODES

       The following status codes can be returned:

       The routine was completed successfully.

       The name passed by the	name1 or name2 parameter is unsupported.

       An invalid name was passed by the
				name1 or name2 parameter.

       The routine failed.  Check the
				minor_status parameter for details.
