gss_export_name(3)                    gss                   gss_export_name(3)


NAME

       gss_export_name - API function


SYNOPSIS

       #include <gss.h>

       OM_uint32 gss_export_name(OM_uint32 * minor_status, const gss_name_t
       input_name, gss_buffer_t exported_name);


ARGUMENTS

       OM_uint32 * minor_status
                   (Integer, modify) Mechanism specific status code.

       const gss_name_t input_name
                   (gss_name_t, read) The MN to be exported.

       gss_buffer_t exported_name
                   (gss_buffer_t, octet-string, modify) The canonical
                     contiguous string form of input_name.  Storage associated
                   with
                     this string must freed by the application after use with
                     gss_release_buffer().


DESCRIPTION

       To produce a canonical contiguous string representation of a mechanism
       name (MN), suitable for direct comparison (e.g. with memcmp) for use in
       authorization functions (e.g. matching entries in an access-control
       list).  The input_name parameter must specify a valid MN (i.e. an
       internal name generated by gss_accept_sec_context() or by
       gss_canonicalize_name()).


RETURN VALUE

       `GSS_S_COMPLETE`: Successful completion.

       `GSS_S_NAME_NOT_MN`: The provided internal name was not a mechanism
       name.

       `GSS_S_BAD_NAME`: The provided internal name was ill-formed.

       `GSS_S_BAD_NAMETYPE`: The internal name was of a type not supported by
       the GSS-API implementation.
