 gss_export_name 3GSS "14 Jan 2003" "SunOS 5.11" "Generic Security Services API Library Functions"
 NAME
gss_export_name - convert a mechanism name to export form
 SYNOPSIS

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

OM_uint32 gss_export_name(OM_uint32 *minor_status,
 const gss_name_t input_name,gss_buffer_t exported_name);


 DESCRIPTION

The gss_export_name() function allows a GSS-API internal name to be
converted into a mechanism-specific name. The function produces a canonical
contiguous string representation of a mechanism name, suitable for direct
comparison, with memory(3C), or for use in authorization functions,
matching entries in an access-control list. The input_name parameter
must specify a valid mechanism name, that is, an internal name generated by
gss_accept_sec_context(3GSS) or by gss_canonicalize_name(3GSS).
 PARAMETERS

The parameter descriptions for gss_export_name() follow:

minor_status

A mechanism-specific status code.


input_name

The mechanism name to be exported.


exported_name

The canonical contiguous string form of input_name. Storage associated
with this string must freed by the application after use with
gss_release_buffer(3GSS).


 ERRORS

The gss_export_name() function may return the following status codes:

GSS_S_COMPLETE

Successful completion.


GSS_S_NAME_NOT_MN

The provided internal name was not a mechanism name.


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.
