GSS_COMPARE_NAME(3)                     FreeBSD Library Functions Manual (prm)

NAME
     gss_compare_name - Compare two internal-form names

SYNOPSIS
     #include <gssapi/gssapi.h>

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

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.

PARAMETERS
     minor_status  Mechanism specific status code.

     name1         Internal-form name.

     name2         Internal-form name.

     name_equal

                   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).

RETURN VALUES
     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.
