# gss\_duplicate\_name(3)

API function

## NAME

gss\_duplicate\_name - API function

## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<gss.h\>**

**OM\_uint32 gss\_duplicate\_name(OM\_uint32 \*** *minor\_status***, const gss\_name\_t** *src\_name***, gss\_name\_t \*** *dest\_name***);**

## ARGUMENTS

- OM\_uint32 \* minor\_status

  (Integer, modify) Mechanism specific status code.

- const gss\_name\_t src\_name

  (gss\_name\_t, read) Internal name to be duplicated.

- gss\_name\_t \* dest\_name

  (gss\_name\_t, modify) The resultant copy of *src\_name*.\
     Storage associated with this name must be freed by the application\
     after use with a call to **gss\_release\_name()**.

## DESCRIPTION

Create an exact duplicate of the existing internal name *src\_name*. The new *dest\_name* will be independent of src\_name (i.e. *src\_name* and *dest\_name* must both be released, and the release of one shall not affect the validity of the other).

## RETURN VALUE

\`GSS\_S\_COMPLETE\`: Successful completion.

\`GSS\_S\_BAD\_NAME\`: The src\_name parameter was ill-formed.
