gss_oid_to_str(3Generic Security Services API Library Funcgss_oid_to_str(3GSS)NAMEgss_oid_to_str - convert an OID to a string
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lgss [ library... ]
#include <gssapi/gssapi.h>
gss_oid_to_str(OM_uint32 *minor_status, const gss_OID oid,
gss_buffer_toid_str);
PARAMETERS
minor_status Status code returned by underlying mechanism.
oid GSS-API OID structure to convert.
oid_str String to receive converted OID.
DESCRIPTION
The gss_oid_to_str() function converts a GSS-API OID structure to a
string. You can use the function to convert the name of a mechanism
from an OID to a simple string. This function is a convenience func‐
tion, as is its complementary function, gss_str_to_oid(3GSS).
If an OID must be created, use gss_create_empty_oid_set(3GSS) and
gss_add_oid_set_member(3GSS) to create 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.
ERRORS
The gss_oid_to_str() function 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-specific 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.
