GSS_EXPORT_NAME 3GSS "Jan 14, 2003"
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.
