gss_compare_name(3)
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 * const name_equal );

PARAMETERS
  minor_status
	  Kerberos 5 error code.

  name1	  Internal form name to be compared. The application must obtain the
	  internal form name beforehand using a call such as
	  gss_import_name().

  name2	  Internal form name to be compared. The application must obtain the
	  internal form name beforehand using a call such as
	  gss_import_name().

  name_equal
	  True -- The names refer to the same entity.

	  False -- The names do not refer to the same entity.

DESCRIPTION
  The gss_compare_name() function compares two internal form names to
  determine if they are the same. When a name is created using a function
  such as gss_import_name(), an aggregate structure is built with a component
  for each security mechanism that supports the name type. Two names are
  equal if they refer to the same entity and security mechanisms.

  The application must obtain the internal form names beforehand using a call
  such as gss_import_name().

RETURN VALUES
  GSS_S_BAD_NAME		  xx02xxxx
  GSS_S_BAD_NAMETYPE		  xx03xxxx
  GSS_S_CALL_INACCESSIBLE_READ	  01xxxxxx
  GSS_S_CALL_INACCESSIBLE_WRITE	  02xxxxxx
  GSS_S_COMPLETE		  00000000
  GSS_S_FAILURE			  xx0Dxxxx

PORTABILITY CONSIDERATIONS
  Anonymous principals are not supported by the HP implementation of GSS-API.
