gss_release_buffer(3GSS) Generic Security Services API Library Functions gss_release_buffer(3GSS) 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-specific sta- tus code reported by means of the minor_status parameter details the error condition. ATTRIBUTES

gss_display_name(3GSS) Generic Security Services API Library Functions gss_display_name(3GSS) 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 *output_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 parameter 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-specific sta- tus code reported by means of the minor_status parameter details the error condition. ATTRIBUTES
