krb5_parse_namestring 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 backslash (“\”). A realm should not contain slashes or colons.
