46 Convert a contiguous string name to internal form.
48 the internal name returned (via the
50 parameter) will not be an MN;
51 the exception to this is if the
53 indicates that the contiguous string provided via the
56 .Dv GSS_C_NT_EXPORT_NAME ,
57 in which case the returned internal name will be an MN for the
58 mechanism that exported the name.

62 Mechanism specific status code.
64 Buffer containing contiguous string name to convert.
66 Object ID specifying type of printable name.
67 Applications may specify either
69 to use a mechanism-specific default printable syntax,
70 or an OID recognized by the GSS-API implementation to name a specific
73 Returned name in internal form.
74 Storage associated with this name must be freed by the application
75 after use with a call to
76 .Fn gss_release_name .

89 parameter could not be interpreted as a name of the specified type
