NAME

gss_duplicate_name —

Create a copy of an internal name

SYNOPSIS

#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

Create an exact duplicate of the existing internal name src_name. The new dest_name will be independent of src_name (i.e. src_name and dest_name must both be released, and the release of one shall not affect the validity of the other).

PARAMETERS

minor_status: 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().

RETURN VALUES

GSS_S_COMPLETE: Successful completion
GSS_S_BAD_NAME: The src_name parameter was ill-formed

STANDARDS

RFC 2743: Generic Security Service Application Program Interface Version 2, Update 1
RFC 2744: Generic Security Service API Version 2 : C-bindings

HISTORY
