GSS_DUPLICATE_NAME(3GSS) Generic Security Services API Library Functions

NAME

gss_duplicate_name - create a copy of an internal name

SYNOPSIS

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

OM_uint32 gss_duplicate_name(OM_uint32 *minor_status,
const gss_name_t src_name,gss_name_t *dest_name);

DESCRIPTION

The gss_duplicate_name() function creates an exact duplicate of the
existing internal name src_name. The new dest_name will be
independent of the src_name. The src_name and dest_name must both be
released, and the release of one does not affect the validity of the
other.

PARAMETERS

The parameter descriptions for gss_duplicate_name() follow:

minor_status
A mechanism-specific status code.


src_name
Internal name to be duplicated.


dest_name
The resultant copy of src_name. Storage associated
with this name must be freed by the application after
use with a call to gss_release_name(3GSS).

ERRORS

The gss_duplicate_name() function may return the following status
codes:

GSS_S_COMPLETE
Successful completion.


GSS_S_BAD_NAME
The src_name parameter 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.
