NAME

       gss_compare_name - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gss.h>

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

ARGUMENTS

       OM_uint32 * minor_status
                   (Integer, modify) Mechanism specific status code.

       const gss_name_t name1
                   (gss_name_t, read) Internal-form name.

       const gss_name_t name2
                   (gss_name_t, read) Internal-form name.

       int * name_equal
                   (boolean, modify) Non-zero - names refer to same
                     entity.  Zero  -  names  refer  to   different   entities
                   (strictly, the
                     names are not known to refer to the same identity).

DESCRIPTION

       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 should indicate that the two names do not refer
       to the same identity.

RETURN VALUE

       ‘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.
