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 *out‐
put_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
application must free storage associated with
this name after use with a call to
gss_release_buffer(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 call‐
er. In particular, the application should not
attempt to free it. Specify NULL if this param‐
eter 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 mechanism-specific status code reported by
means of the minor_status parameter details the
error condition.
