gss_export_name -- Convert an internal mechanism name to export form 

C Prototype 

OM_uint32 gss_export_name(
        (OM_uint32         minor_status,
        const gss_na       input_name,
        gss_buffer_t       exported_name );

Arguments 

minor_status (output)		An implementation-specific status code.
input_name (input)		The mechanism name to be exported.
exported_name (output)		The canonical contiguous string form of input_name. Storage associated with this string must be freed by the application after use by a call to gss_release_buffer.

Description 

This routine produces a canonical contiguous string representation of a mechanism name (MN), suitable for direct comparison (for example, with memcmp) for use in authorization functions (for example, matching entries in an access-control list). The input_name argument must specify a valid MN (that is, an internal name generated by gss_accept_sec_context or by gss_canonicalize_name).

Return Values 

This routine returns one of the following GSS status codes:

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 GSSAPI implementation.
