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.
