35 \fBGSS-API\fR \fBOID\fR structure to convert.
44 String to receive converted \fBOID\fR.
50 The \fBgss_oid_to_str()\fR function converts a \fBGSS-API\fR \fBOID\fR
51 structure to a string. You can use the function to convert the name of a
52 mechanism from an \fBOID\fR to a simple string. This function is a convenience
53 function, as is its complementary function, \fBgss_str_to_oid\fR(3GSS).
56 If an \fBOID\fR must be created, use \fBgss_create_empty_oid_set\fR(3GSS) and
57 \fBgss_add_oid_set_member\fR(3GSS) to create it. \fBOID\fRs created in this
58 way must be released with \fBgss_release_oid_set\fR(3GSS). However, it is
59 strongly suggested that applications use the default \fBGSS-API\fR mechanism
60 instead of creating an \fBOID\fR for a specific mechanism.
64 The \fBgss_oid_to_str()\fR function returns one of the following status codes:
68 \fB\fBGSS_S_CALL_INACCESSIBLE_READ\fR\fR
72 A required input parameter could not be read.
78 \fB\fBGSS_S_CALL_INACCESSIBLE_WRITE\fR\fR
82 A required output parameter could not be written.
88 \fB\fBGSS_S_COMPLETE\fR\fR
92 Successful completion.
98 \fB\fBGSS_S_FAILURE\fR\fR
102 The underlying mechanism detected an error for which no specific \fBGSS\fR
103 status code is defined. The mechanism-specific status code reported by means
104 of the \fIminor_status\fR parameter details the error condition.

135 This function is included for compatibility only with programs using earlier
136 versions of the \fBGSS-API\fR and should not be used for new programs. Other
137 implementations of the \fBGSS-API\fR might not support this function, so
138 portable programs should not rely on it. Sun might not continue to support this
