SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     #include <krb5.h>

     krb5_error_code
     krb5_parse_name(krb5_context context, const char *name,
             krb5_principal *principal);

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     krb5_parse_name() converts  a  string  representation  of  a
principal name to
     krb5_principal.   The principal will point to allocated data
that should
     be freed with krb5_free_principal().

     The string should consist of one  or  more  name  components
separated with
     slashes  (``/''),  optionally  followed  with an ``@'' and a
realm name. A
     slash or @ may be contained in a name component  by  quoting
it with a
     back-slash  (``  .'')  A realm should not contain slashes or
colons.
