NAME
gss_compare_name - compare two internal-form names
SYNOPSIS

cc [flag .\|.\|.] file.\|.\|. -lgss [library .\|.\|.]
#include <gssapi/gssapi.h>

OM_uint32 gss_compare_name(OM_uint32 *minor_status,
 const gss_name_t name1,const gss_name_t name2,
 int *name_equal);
DESCRIPTION

The gss_compare_name() function allows an application to compare two internal-form names to determine whether they refer to the same entity.

If either name presented to gss_compare_name() denotes an anonymous principal, the routines indicate that the two names do not refer to the same identity.

PARAMETERS

The parameter descriptions for gss_compare_name() follow: minor_status

Mechanism-specific status code.

name1

Internal-form name.

name2

Internal-form name.

name_equal

If non-zero, the names refer to same entity. If 0, the names refer to different entities. Strictly, the names are not known to refer to the same identity.

ERRORS

The gss_compare_name() function may return the following status codes: GSS_S_COMPLETE

Successful completion.

GSS_S_BAD_NAMETYPE

The two names were of incomparable types.

GSS_S_BAD_NAME

One or both of name1 or name2 was ill-formed.

GSS_S_FAILURE

The underlying mechanism detected an error for which no specific GSS status code is defined. The mechanism-specific status code reported by means of the minor_status parameter details the error condition.
