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.
