SYNOPSIS
     #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
     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 should indicate that the two names do not refer
     to the same identity.

		   zero      Names refer to different entities (strictly, the names are not known to refer to the same identity).

RETURN VALUES

     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.
