36.Sh SYNOPSIS
37.In "gssapi/gssapi.h"
38.Ft OM_uint32
39.Fo gss_display_name
40.Fa "OM_uint32 *minor_status"
41.Fa "const gss_name_t input_name"

44.Fc
45.Sh DESCRIPTION
46Allows an application to obtain a textual representation of an opaque
47internal-form name for display purposes.
48The syntax of a printable name is defined by the GSS-API implementation.
49.Pp
50If
51.Fa input_name
52denotes an anonymous principal,
53the implementation should return the
54.Fa gss_OID
55value
56.Dv GSS_C_NT_ANONYMOUS
57as the
58.Fa output_name_type ,
59and a textual name that is syntactically distinct from all valid
60supported printable names in
61.Fa output_name_buffer .
62.Pp
63If
64.Fa input_name
65was created by a call to
66.Fn gss_import_name ,
67specifying
68.Dv GSS_C_NO_OID
69as the name-type,
70implementations that employ lazy conversion between name types may
71return
72.Dv GSS_C_NO_OID
73via the
74.Fa output_name_type
75parameter.
76.Sh PARAMETERS
77.Bl -tag -width ".It output_name_buffer"
78.It minor_status
79Mechanism specific status code.
80.It input_name
81Name to be displayed.
82.It output_name_buffer
83Buffer to receive textual name string.
84The application must free storage associated with this name after use
85with a call to
86.Fn gss_release_buffer .
87.It output_name_type
88The type of the returned name.
89The returned
90.Fa gss_OID
91will be a pointer into static storage,
92and should be treated as read-only by the caller
93(in particular, the application should not attempt to free it).
94Specify
95.Dv NULL
96if not required.
97.El
98.Sh RETURN VALUES
99.Bl -tag -width ".It GSS_S_COMPLETE"
100.It GSS_S_COMPLETE
101Successful completion
