NAME
gss_display_name - convert internal-form name to text
SYNOPSIS
cc [flag ...] file... -lgss [library ...]
#include <gssapi/gssapi.h>
OM_uint32 gss_display_name(OM_uint32 *minor_status,
const gss_name_t input_name, gss_buffer_t output_name_buffer,
gss_OID *output_name_type);
DESCRIPTION
The gss_display_name() function allows an application to obtain a tex-
tual representation of an opaque internal-form name for display pur-
poses.
If input_name denotes an anonymous principal, the GSS-API returns the
gss_OID value GSS_C_NT_ANONYMOUS as the output_name_type, and a textual
name that is syntactically distinct from all valid supported printable
names in output_name_buffer.
If input_name was created by a call to gss_import_name(3GSS), specify-
ing GSS_C_NO_OID as the name-type, the GSS-API returns GSS_C_NO_OID by
means of the output_name_type parameter.
PARAMETERS
The parameter descriptions for gss_display_name() follow:
minor_status Mechanism-specific status code.
input_name Name in internal form.
output_name_buffer Buffer to receive textual name string. The appli-
cation must free storage associated with this
name after use with a call to gss_release_buf-
fer(3GSS).
output_name_type The type of the returned name. The returned
gss_OID will be a pointer into static storage and
should be treated as read-only by the caller. In
particular, the application should not attempt to
free it. Specify NULL if this parameter is not
required.
ERRORS
The gss_display_name() function may return the following status codes:
GSS_S_COMPLETE Successful completion.
GSS_S_BAD_NAME The input_name was ill-formed.
GSS_S_FAILURE The underlying mechanism detected an error for which
no specific GSS status code is defined. The mecha-
nism-specific status code reported by means of the
minor_status parameter details the error condition.
