23 The \fBgss_compare_name()\fR function allows an application to compare two
24 internal-form names to determine whether they refer to the same entity.
27 If either name presented to \fBgss_compare_name()\fR denotes an anonymous
28 principal, the routines indicate that the two names do not refer to the same
33 The parameter descriptions for \fBgss_compare_name()\fR follow:
37 \fB\fIminor_status\fR\fR
40 Mechanism-specific status code.
64 \fB\fIname_equal\fR\fR
67 If non-zero, the names refer to same entity. If 0, the names refer to different
68 entities. Strictly, the names are not known to refer to the same identity.
74 The \fBgss_compare_name()\fR function may return the following status codes:
78 \fB\fBGSS_S_COMPLETE\fR\fR
81 Successful completion.
87 \fB\fBGSS_S_BAD_NAMETYPE\fR\fR
90 The two names were of incomparable types.
96 \fB\fBGSS_S_BAD_NAME\fR\fR
99 One or both of \fIname1\fR or \fIname2\fR was ill-formed.
105 \fB\fBGSS_S_FAILURE\fR\fR
108 The underlying mechanism detected an error for which no specific \fBGSS\fR
109 status code is defined. The mechanism-specific status code reported by means
110 of the \fIminor_status\fR parameter details the error condition.
