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

47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48Convert a contiguous string name to internal form.
49In general,
50the internal name returned (via the
51.Fa output_name
52parameter) will not be an MN;
53the exception to this is if the
54.Fa input_name_type
55indicates that the contiguous string provided via the
56.Fa input_name_buffer
57parameter is of type
58.Dv GSS_C_NT_EXPORT_NAME ,
59in which case the returned internal name will be an MN for the
60mechanism that exported the name.
61.Sh PARAMETERS
62.Bl -tag -width ".It input_name_buffer"
63.It minor_status
64Mechanism specific status code.
65.It input_name_buffer
66Buffer containing contiguous string name to convert.
67.It input_name_type
68Object ID specifying type of printable name.
69Applications may specify either
70.Dv GSS_C_NO_OID
71to use a mechanism-specific default printable syntax,
72or an OID recognized by the GSS-API implementation to name a specific
73namespace.
74.It output_name
75Returned name in internal form.
76Storage associated with this name must be freed by the application
77after use with a call to
78.Fn gss_release_name .
79.El
80.Sh RETURN VALUES
81.Bl -tag -width "It GSS_S_BAD_NAMETYPE"
82.It GSS_S_COMPLETE
83Successful completion
84.It GSS_S_BAD_NAMETYPE
85The
86.Fa input_name_type
87was unrecognized
88.It GSS_S_BAD_NAME
89The
90.Fa input_name
91parameter could not be interpreted as a name of the specified type
92.It GSS_S_BAD_MECH
93The input name-type was
94.Dv GSS_C_NT_EXPORT_NAME ,
95but the mechanism contained within the input-name is not supported
