gss_oid_to_str(3Generic Security Services API Library Funcgss_oid_to_str(3GSS)

NAME
       gss_oid_to_str - convert an OID to a string

SYNOPSIS
       cc [ flag... ] file... -lgss  [ library... ]
       #include <gssapi/gssapi.h>

       gss_oid_to_str(OM_uint32 *minor_status, const gss_OID oid,
	   gss_buffer_toid_str);

PARAMETERS
       minor_status    Status code returned by underlying mechanism.

       oid	       GSS-API OID structure to convert.

       oid_str	       String to receive converted OID.

DESCRIPTION
       The  gss_oid_to_str()  function	converts  a GSS-API OID structure to a
       string. You can use the function to convert the	name  of  a  mechanism
       from  an	 OID  to a simple string. This function is a convenience func‐
       tion, as is its complementary function, gss_str_to_oid(3GSS).

       If an OID  must	be  created,  use  gss_create_empty_oid_set(3GSS)  and
       gss_add_oid_set_member(3GSS)  to	 create	 it.  OIDs created in this way
       must  be	 released  with	 gss_release_oid_set(3GSS).  However,  it   is
       strongly	 suggested that applications use the default GSS-API mechanism
       instead of creating an OID for a specific mechanism.

ERRORS
       The gss_oid_to_str() function  returns  one  of	the  following	status
       codes:

       GSS_S_CALL_INACCESSIBLE_READ

	   A required input parameter could not be read.

       GSS_S_CALL_INACCESSIBLE_WRITE

	   A required output parameter could not be written.

       GSS_S_COMPLETE

	   Successful completion.

       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.

WARNINGS
       This  function  is  included for compatibility only with programs using
       earlier versions of the GSS-API and should not be  used	for  new  pro‐
       grams.  Other  implementations  of  the	GSS-API might not support this
       function, so portable programs should not rely on  it.  Sun  might  not
       continue to support this function.
