.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBgss_export_name()\fR function allows a \fBGSS-API\fR internal name to be converted into a mechanism-specific name. The function produces a canonical contiguous string representation of a mechanism name, suitable for direct comparison, with \fBmemory\fR(3C), or for use in authorization functions, matching entries in an access-control list.  The \fIinput_name\fR parameter must specify a valid mechanism name, that is, an internal name generated by \fBgss_accept_sec_context\fR(3GSS) or by \fBgss_canonicalize_name\fR(3GSS).

\fB\fIexported_name\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 17n
.rt  
The canonical contiguous string form of \fIinput_name\fR. Storage associated with this string must freed by the application after use with \fBgss_release_buffer\fR(3GSS).

.SH ERRORS
.sp
.LP
The \fBgss_export_name()\fR function may return the following status codes:
.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fBGSS_S_COMPLETE\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 21n
.rt  
Successful completion.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fBGSS_S_NAME_NOT_MN\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 21n
.rt  
The provided internal name was not a mechanism name.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fBGSS_S_FAILURE\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 21n
.rt  
The underlying mechanism detected an error for which no specific \fBGSS\fR status code is defined.  The mechanism-specific status code reported by means of the \fIminor_status\fR parameter details the error condition.
