gss_import_name(3)		      gss		    gss_import_name(3)

NAME
       gss_import_name - API function

SYNOPSIS
       #include <gss.h>

       OM_uint32  gss_import_name(OM_uint32 * minor_status, const gss_buffer_t
       input_name_buffer, const gss_OID	 input_name_type,  gss_name_t  *  out‐
       put_name);

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

       const gss_buffer_t input_name_buffer
		   (buffer, octet-string, read) Buffer containing
		     contiguous string name to convert.

       const gss_OID input_name_type
		   (Object ID, read, optional) Object ID specifying
		     type of printable name.  Applications may specify either
		     GSS_C_NO_OID  to  use a mechanism-specific default print‐
		   able
		     syntax, or an OID recognized by the  GSS-API  implementa‐
		   tion to
		     name a specific namespace.

       gss_name_t * output_name
		   (gss_name_t, modify) Returned name in internal form.
		     Storage associated with this name must be freed by the
		     application after use with a call to gss_release_name().

DESCRIPTION
       Convert	a  contiguous  string  name to internal form.  In general, the
       internal name returned (via the output_name parameter) will not	be  an
       MN;  the exception to this is if the input_name_type indicates that the
       contiguous string provided via the input_name_buffer  parameter	is  of
       type  GSS_C_NT_EXPORT_NAME,  in	which  case the returned internal name
       will be an MN for the mechanism that exported the name.

RETURN VALUE
       `GSS_S_COMPLETE`: Successful completion.

       `GSS_S_BAD_NAMETYPE`: The input_name_type was unrecognized.

       `GSS_S_BAD_NAME`: The input_name parameter could not be interpreted  as
       a name of the specified type.

       `GSS_S_BAD_MECH`: The input name-type was GSS_C_NT_EXPORT_NAME, but the
       mechanism contained within the input-name is not supported.
