gss_compare_name(3)

NAME
gss_compare_name - API function

SYNOPSIS
#include <gss.h>

OM_uint32 gss_compare_name(OM_uint32 * minor_status, const gss_name_t name1, const gss_name_t name2, int * name_equal);

ARGUMENTS

OM_uint32 * minor_status
     (Integer, modify) Mechanism specific status code.

const gss_name_t name1
     (gss_name_t, read) Internal-form name.

const gss_name_t name2
     (gss_name_t, read) Internal-form name.

int * name_equal
     (boolean, modify) Non-zero - names refer to same
      entity. Zero - names refer to different entities (strictly, the
      names are not known to refer to the same identity).

DESCRIPTION
Allows an application to compare two internal-form names to determine whether they refer to the same entity. If either name presented to gss_compare_name denotes an anonymous principal, the routines should indicate that the two names do not refer to the same identity. Return value: `GSS_S_COMPLETE`: Successful completion. `GSS_S_BAD_NAMETYPE`: The two names were of incomparable types. `GSS_S_BAD_NAME`: One or both of name1 or name2 was ill-formed.
