39.In "gssapi/gssapi.h"
40.Ft OM_uint32
41.Fo gss_display_name
42.Fa "OM_uint32 *minor_status"

46.Fc
47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48Allows an application to obtain a textual representation of an opaque
49internal-form name for display purposes.
50The syntax of a printable name is defined by the GSS-API implementation.
51.Pp
52If
53.Fa input_name
54denotes an anonymous principal,
55the implementation should return the
56.Fa gss_OID
57value
58.Dv GSS_C_NT_ANONYMOUS
59as the
60.Fa output_name_type ,
61and a textual name that is syntactically distinct from all valid
62supported printable names in
63.Fa output_name_buffer .
64.Pp
65If
66.Fa input_name
67was created by a call to
68.Fn gss_import_name ,
69specifying
70.Dv GSS_C_NO_OID
71as the name-type,
72implementations that employ lazy conversion between name types may
73return
74.Dv GSS_C_NO_OID
75via the
76.Fa output_name_type
77parameter.
78.Sh PARAMETERS
79.Bl -tag
80.It minor_status
81Mechanism specific status code.
82.It input_name
83Name to be displayed.
84.It output_name_buffer
85Buffer to receive textual name string.
86The application must free storage associated with this name after use
87with a call to
88.Fn gss_release_buffer .
89.It output_name_type
90The type of the returned name.
91The returned
92.Fa gss_OID
93will be a pointer into static storage,
94and should be treated as read-only by the caller
95(in particular, the application should not attempt to free it).
96Specify
97.Dv NULL
98if not required.
