NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       gss_str_to_oid - Construct OID from string.

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       #include <gssapi/gssapi.h>

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

PARAMETERS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Kerberos  5 error code.  Octet string.  OBJECT IDENTIFIER.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The function gss_str_to_oid() constructs  and  returns  an
       OID from its printable form.

       The  OID  is  suitable  for  release  using  the  function
       gss_release_oid().

       If the input oid_str cannot be  translated  into  an  OID,
       GSS_S_FAILURE  status  is  returned  and the oid result is
       NULL.

RETURN VALUES    [Toc]    [Back]

       GSS_S_COMPLETE   00000000
       GSS_S_FAILURE    xx0Dxxxx

PORTABILITY CONSIDERATIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Implementations should be able to accept the numeric ASN.1
       syntax  form  as  described for gss_oid_to_str(), and this
       form should be used for portability,  but  implementations
       of  this  routine  may  also  accept  other formats (e.g.,
       "1.2.3.3").
