NAME
gss_export_name - API function
SYNOPSIS
#include <gss.h>
OM_uint32 gss_export_name(OM_uint32 * minor_status, const gss_name_t
input_name, gss_buffer_t exported_name);
ARGUMENTS
OM_uint32 * minor_status
(Integer, modify) Mechanism specific status code.
const gss_name_t input_name
(gss_name_t, read) The MN to be exported.
gss_buffer_t exported_name
(gss_buffer_t, octet-string, modify) The canonical
contiguous string form of input_name. Storage associated
with
this string must freed by the application after use with
gss_release_buffer().
DESCRIPTION
To produce a canonical contiguous string representation of a mechanism
name (MN), suitable for direct comparison (e.g. with memcmp) for use in
authorization functions (e.g. matching entries in an access-control
list). The input_name parameter must specify a valid MN (i.e. an
internal name generated by gss_accept_sec_context() or by
gss_canonicalize_name()).
RETURN VALUE
‘GSS_S_COMPLETE‘: Successful completion.
‘GSS_S_NAME_NOT_MN‘: The provided internal name was not a mechanism
name.
‘GSS_S_BAD_NAME‘: The provided internal name was ill-formed.
‘GSS_S_BAD_NAMETYPE‘: The internal name was of a type not supported by
the GSS-API implementation.
