NAME
       gss_compare_name - compare two internal-form names

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

       OM_uint32 gss_compare_name(OM_uint32 *minor_status,
	    const gss_name_t name1,const gss_name_t name2,
	    int *name_equal);

DESCRIPTION
       The  gss_compare_name()	function  allows  an  application  to  compare two internal-form names to determine whether they refer to the same
       entity.

       If either name presented to gss_compare_name() denotes an anonymous principal, the routines indicate that the two names do not refer to the
       same identity.

PARAMETERS
       The parameter descriptions for gss_compare_name() follow:

       minor_status    Mechanism-specific status code.

       name1	       Internal-form name.

       name2	       Internal-form name.

       name_equal      If non-zero, the names refer to same entity. If 0, the names refer to different entities. Strictly, the names are not known
		       to refer to the same identity.

ERRORS
       The gss_compare_name() function may return the following status codes:

       GSS_S_COMPLETE	     Successful completion.

       GSS_S_BAD_NAMETYPE    The two names were of incomparable types.

       GSS_S_BAD_NAME	     One or both of name1 or name2 was ill-formed.

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