 to internal-form.
 gss_display_name Convert internal-form name to
 text.
 gss_compare_name Compare two internal-form names.
 gss_release_name Discard an internal-form name.
 gss_inquire_names_for_mech List the name-types supported by.
 the specified mechanism.
 gss_inquire_mechs_for_name List mechanisms that support the
 specified name-type.
 gss_canonicalize_name Convert an internal name to an MN.
 gss_export_name Convert an MN to export form.
 gss_duplicate_name Create a copy of an internal name.
