#include <gssapi/gssapi.h>

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBgss_export_name()\fR function allows a \fBGSS-API\fR 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 \fBmemory\fR(3C), or for use in authorization functions,
matching entries in an access-control list.  The \fIinput_name\fR parameter
must specify a valid mechanism name, that is, an internal name generated by
\fBgss_accept_sec_context\fR(3GSS) or by \fBgss_canonicalize_name\fR(3GSS).
.SH PARAMETERS
.sp
.LP
The parameter descriptions for \fBgss_export_name()\fR follow:
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fIminor_status\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 17n
A mechanism-specific status code.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fIinput_name\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 17n
The mechanism name to be exported.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fIexported_name\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 17n
The canonical contiguous string form of \fIinput_name\fR. Storage associated
with this string must freed by the application after use with
\fBgss_release_buffer\fR(3GSS).
.RE

.SH ERRORS
.sp
.LP
The \fBgss_export_name()\fR function may return the following status codes:
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBGSS_S_COMPLETE\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 21n
Successful completion.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBGSS_S_NAME_NOT_MN\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 21n
The provided internal name was not a mechanism name.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBGSS_S_FAILURE\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 21n
The underlying mechanism detected an error for which no specific \fBGSS\fR
status code is defined.  The mechanism-specific status code reported by means
of the \fIminor_status\fR parameter details the error condition.
