NAME

     krb5_parse_name -- string to principal conversion


LIBRARY

     Kerberos 5 Library (libkrb5, -lkrb5)


SYNOPSIS

     #include <krb5/krb5.h>

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


DESCRIPTION

     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.
