LIBRARY

SYNOPSIS
#include <krb5/krb5.h>
krb5_error_code
krb5_parse_name(krb5_context context, const char *name,
krb5_principal *principal);
DESCRIPTIONkrb5_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.
