gss_export_name(3GSS)				  Generic Security Services API Library Functions			     gss_export_name(3GSS)

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 memcmp(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  applica-
			       tion 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-spe-
			       cific status code reported by means of the minor_status parameter details the error condition.
