48 Convert a contiguous string name to internal form.
50 the internal name returned (via the
52 parameter) will not be an MN;
53 the exception to this is if the
55 indicates that the contiguous string provided via the
58 .Dv GSS_C_NT_EXPORT_NAME ,
59 in which case the returned internal name will be an MN for the
60 mechanism that exported the name.
64 Mechanism specific status code.
66 Buffer containing contiguous string name to convert.
68 Object ID specifying type of printable name.
69 Applications may specify either
71 to use a mechanism-specific default printable syntax,
72 or an OID recognized by the GSS-API implementation to name a specific
75 Returned name in internal form.
76 Storage associated with this name must be freed by the application
77 after use with a call to
