.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In "gssapi/gssapi.h"
.Ft OM_uint32
.Fo gss_import_name
.Fa "OM_uint32 *minor_status"
.Fa "const gss_buffer_t input_name_buffer"
.Fa "const gss_OID input_name_type"
.Fa "gss_name_t *output_name"

.Sh DESCRIPTION
Convert a contiguous string name to internal form.
In general,
the internal name returned (via the
.Fa output_name
parameter) will not be an MN;
the exception to this is if the
.Fa input_name_type
indicates that the contiguous string provided via the
.Fa input_name_buffer
parameter is of type
.Dv GSS_C_NT_EXPORT_NAME ,
in which case the returned internal name will be an MN for the
mechanism that exported the name.
.Sh PARAMETERS
.Bl -tag -width ".It input_name_buffer"
.It minor_status
Mechanism specific status code.
.It input_name_buffer
Buffer containing contiguous string name to convert.
.It input_name_type
Object ID specifying type of printable name.
Applications may specify either
.Dv GSS_C_NO_OID
to use a mechanism-specific default printable syntax,
or an OID recognized by the GSS-API implementation to name a specific
namespace.
.It output_name
Returned name in internal form.
Storage associated with this name must be freed by the application
after use with a call to
.Fn gss_release_name .
.El
.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Bl -tag -width "It GSS_S_BAD_NAMETYPE"
.It GSS_S_COMPLETE
Successful completion
.It GSS_S_BAD_NAMETYPE
The
.Fa input_name_type
was unrecognized
.It GSS_S_BAD_NAME
The
.Fa input_name
parameter could not be interpreted as a name of the specified type
.It GSS_S_BAD_MECH
The input name-type was
.Dv GSS_C_NT_EXPORT_NAME ,
but the mechanism contained within the input-name is not supported
