47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48Generate a canonical mechanism name (MN) from an arbitrary internal
49name.
50The mechanism name is the name that would be returned to a context
51acceptor on successful authentication of a context where the initiator
52used the
53.Fa input_name
54in a successful call to
55.Fn gss_acquire_cred ,
56specifying an OID set containing
57.Fa mech_type
58as its only member,
59followed by a call to
60.Fn gss_init_sec_context ,
61specifying
62.Fa mech_type
63as the authentication mechanism.
64.Sh PARAMETERS
65.Bl -tag
66.It minor_status
67Mechanism specific status code.
68.It input_name
69The name for which a canonical form is desired.
70.It mech_type
71The authentication mechanism for which the canonical form of the name
72is desired.
73The desired mechanism must be specified explicitly;
74 no default is provided.
75.It output_name
76The resultant canonical name.
77Storage associated with this name must be freed by the application
78after use with a call to
79.Fn gss_release_name .

81.Sh RETURN VALUES
82.Bl -tag
83.It GSS_S_COMPLETE
84Successful completion.
85.It GSS_S_BAD_MECH
86The identified mechanism is not supported.
87.It GSS_S_BAD_NAMETYPE
88The provided internal name contains no elements that could be
89processed by the specified mechanism.
90.It GSS_S_BAD_NAME
91The provided internal name was ill-formed.
