gss_str_to_oid(3)gss_str_to_oid(3)NAMEgss_str_to_oid - Construct OID from string.
SYNOPSIS
#include <gssapi/gssapi.h>
OM_uint32 gss_str_to_oid(
OM_uint32 * minor_status,
gss_buffer_t oid_str,
gss_OID oid );
PARAMETERS
Kerberos 5 error code. Octet string. OBJECT IDENTIFIER.
DESCRIPTION
The function gss_str_to_oid() constructs and returns an OID from its
printable form.
The OID is suitable for release using the function gss_release_oid().
If the input oid_str cannot be translated into an OID, GSS_S_FAILURE
status is returned and the oid result is NULL.
RETURN VALUES
GSS_S_COMPLETE 00000000
GSS_S_FAILURE xx0Dxxxx
PORTABILITY CONSIDERATIONS
Implementations should be able to accept the numeric ASN.1 syntax form
as described for gss_oid_to_str(), and this form should be used for
portability, but implementations of this routine may also accept other
formats (e.g., “1.2.3.3”).
