.Nd Convert an MN to export form
.\" This next command is for sections 2 and 3 only.

.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In "gssapi/gssapi.h"
.Ft OM_uint32
.Fo gss_export_name
.Fa "OM_uint32 *minor_status"
.Fa "const gss_name_t input_name"
.Fa "gss_buffer_t exported_name"

.Sh DESCRIPTION
To produce a canonical contiguous string representation of a mechanism
name (MN),
suitable for direct comparison
(e.g. with memcmp)
for use in authorization functions
(e.g. matching entries in an access-control list).
The
.Fa input_name
parameter must specify a valid MN
(i.e. an internal name generated by
.Fn gss_accept_sec_context
or by
.Fn gss_canonicalize_name ).
.Sh PARAMETERS
.Bl -tag -width ".It exported_name"
.It minor_status
Mechanism specific status code.
.It input_name
The MN to be exported.
.It exported_name
The canonical contiguous string form of
.Fa input_name .
Storage associated with this string must freed by the application
after use with
.Fn gss_release_buffer .
.El
.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Bl -tag -width ".It GSS_S_BAD_NAMETYPE"
.It GSS_S_COMPLETE
Successful completion
.It GSS_S_NAME_NOT_MN
The provided internal name was not a mechanism name.
.It GSS_S_BAD_NAME
The provided internal name was ill-formed.
.It GSS_S_BAD_NAMETYPE
The internal name was of a type not supported by the GSS-API implementation.
