NAME
     krb5_parse_name -- string to principal conversion

LIBRARY
     Kerberos 5 Library (libkrb5, -lkrb5)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <krb5/krb5.h>

     krb5_error_code
     krb5_parse_name(krb5_context context, const char *name, krb5_principal *principal);

DESCRIPTION
     krb5_parse_name() converts a string representation of a principal name to krb5_principal.	The principal will point to allocated data that
     should be freed with krb5_free_principal().

     The string should consist of one or more name components separated with slashes (``/''), optionally followed with an ``@'' and a realm name.
     A slash or @ may be contained in a name component by quoting it with a backslash (``'').	A realm should not contain slashes or colons.
