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.
