45.Sh DESCRIPTION
46Generate a canonical mechanism name (MN) from an arbitrary internal
47name.
48The mechanism name is the name that would be returned to a context
49acceptor on successful authentication of a context where the initiator
50used the
51.Fa input_name
52in a successful call to
53.Fn gss_acquire_cred ,
54specifying an OID set containing
55.Fa mech_type
56as its only member,
57followed by a call to
58.Fn gss_init_sec_context ,
59specifying
60.Fa mech_type
61as the authentication mechanism.
62.Sh PARAMETERS
63.Bl -tag -width ".It minor_status"
64.It minor_status
65Mechanism specific status code.
66.It input_name
67The name for which a canonical form is desired.
68.It mech_type
69The authentication mechanism for which the canonical form of the name
70is desired.
71The desired mechanism must be specified explicitly;
72 no default is provided.
73.It output_name
74The resultant canonical name.
75Storage associated with this name must be freed by the application
76after use with a call to
77.Fn gss_release_name .
78.El
79.Sh RETURN VALUES
80.Bl -tag -width ".It GSS_S_BAD_NAMETYPE"
81.It GSS_S_COMPLETE
82Successful completion.
83.It GSS_S_BAD_MECH
84The identified mechanism is not supported.
85.It GSS_S_BAD_NAMETYPE
86The provided internal name contains no elements that could be
87processed by the specified mechanism.
88.It GSS_S_BAD_NAME
89The provided internal name was ill-formed.
