RFC 1509            GSSAPI - Overview and C bindings      September 1993


   Purpose:

   Convert a printable name to internal form.

   Parameters:

      minor_status      integer, modify
                        Mechanism specific status code

      input_name_buffer    buffer, character-string, read
                           buffer containing printable name to convert

      input_name_type   Object ID, read, optional
                        Object Id specifying type of printable
                        name.  Applications may specify either
                        GSS_C_NULL_OID to use a local system-specific
                        printable syntax, or an OID registered by the
                        GSSAPI implementation to name a particular
                        namespace.

      output_name       gss_name_t, modify
                        returned name in internal form

   Function value:

      GSS status code

      GSS_S_BAD_NAMETYPE The input_name_type was unrecognized

      GSS_S_BAD_NAME    The input_name parameter could not be
                        interpreted as a name of the specified type

                    gss_name_t *    name)

   Purpose:

   Free GSSAPI-allocated storage associated with an internal form name.

   Parameters:

                    gss_buffer_t    buffer)

   Purpose:

   Free storage associated with a buffer format name.  The storage must
   have been allocated by a GSSAPI routine.  In addition to freeing the
   associated storage, the routine will zero the length field in the
