NAME
gss_export_name - convert a mechanism name to export form SYNOPSIS
cc [flag ...] file... -lgss [library ...] #include <gssapi/gssapi.h> OM_uint32 gss_export_name(OM_uint32 *minor_status, const gss_name_t input_name,gss_buffer_t exported_name); DESCRIPTION
The gss_export_name() function allows a GSS-API internal name to be converted into a mechanism-specific name. The function produces a canonical contiguous string representation of a mechanism name, suitable for direct comparison, with memory(3C), or for use in authoriza- tion functions, matching entries in an access-control list. The input_name parameter must specify a valid mechanism name, that is, an internal name generated by gss_accept_sec_context(3GSS) or by gss_canonicalize_name(3GSS). PARAMETERS
The parameter descriptions for gss_export_name() follow: minor_status A mechanism-specific status code. input_name The mechanism name to be exported. exported_name The canonical contiguous string form of input_name. Storage associated with this string must freed by the application after use with gss_release_buffer(3GSS). ERRORS
The gss_export_name() function may return the following status codes: GSS_S_COMPLETE Successful completion. GSS_S_NAME_NOT_MN The provided internal name was not a mechanism name. 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. ATTRIBUTES

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. ATTRIBUTES
