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.
