gss_str_to_oid(3)


NAME

  gss_str_to_oid - Construct OID from string.


SYNOPSIS

  #include <gssapi/gssapi.h>

  OM_uint32 gss_str_to_oid(
	  OM_uint32 * minor_status,
	  gss_buffer_t oid_str,
	  gss_OID oid );


PARAMETERS

  minor_status
	  Kerberos 5 error code.

  oid_str Octet string.

  oid	  OBJECT IDENTIFIER.


DESCRIPTION

  The function gss_str_to_oid() constructs and returns an OID from its
  printable form.

  The OID is suitable for release using the function gss_release_oid().

  If the input oid_str cannot be translated into an OID, GSS_S_FAILURE status
  is returned and the oid result is NULL.


RETURN VALUES

  GSS_S_COMPLETE   00000000
  GSS_S_FAILURE	   xx0Dxxxx


PORTABILITY CONSIDERATIONS

  Implementations should be able to accept the numeric ASN.1 syntax form as
  described for gss_oid_to_str(), and this form should be used for
  portability, but implementations of this routine may also accept other
  formats (e.g., "1.2.3.3").
