gss_str_to_oid(3Generic Security Services API Library Funcgss_str_to_oid(3GSS)

NAME
       gss_str_to_oid - convert a string to an OID

SYNOPSIS
       cc -flag ...  file...-lgss [library ...]
       #include <gssapi/gssapi.h>

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

DESCRIPTION
       The gss_str_to_oid() function converts a string to a GSS-API OID struc‐
       ture.  You can use the function to convert a simple string to an OID to
       .  This function is a convenience function,  as	is  its	 complementary
       function, gss_oid_to_str(3GSS).

       OIDs   created	with  gss_str_to_oid()	must  be  deallocated  through
       gss_release_oid(3GSS), if available. If an OID  must  be	 created,  use
       gss_create_empty_oid_set(3GSS) and gss_add_oid_set_member(3GSS) to cre‐
       ate  it.	 OIDs  created	 in   this   way   must	  be   released	  with
       gss_release_oid_set(3GSS).  However,  it	 is  strongly  suggested  that
       applications use the default GSS-API mechanism instead of  creating  an
       OID for a specific mechanism.

PARAMETERS
       The parameter descriptions for gss_str_to_oid() are as follows:

       minor_status    Status code returned by underlying mechanism.

       oid	       GSS-API OID structure to receive converted string.

       oid_str	       String to convert.

ERRORS
       gss_str_to_oid() returns one of the following status codes:

       GSS_S_CALL_INACCESSIBLE_READ    A required input parameter could not be
				       read.

       GSS_S_CALL_INACCESSIBLE_WRITE   A required output parameter  could  not
				       be written.

       GSS_S_COMPLETE		       Successful completion.

       GSS_S_FAILURE		       The  underlying	mechanism  detected an
				       error for which no specific GSS	status
				       code  is	 defined.   The mechanism-spe‐
				       cific status code reported by means  of
				       the minor_status	 parameter details the
				       error condition.

WARNINGS
       This  function  is  included for compatibility only with programs using
       earlier versions of the GSS-API and should not be  used	for  new  pro‐
       grams.  Other  implementations  of  the	GSS-API might not support this
       function, so portable programs should not rely on it.   Sun  might  not
       continue to support this function.
