.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBgss_duplicate_name()\fR function creates an exact duplicate of the existing internal name \fIsrc_name\fR.  The new \fIdest_name\fR will be independent of the \fIsrc_name\fR. The \fIsrc_name\fR and \fIdest_name\fR must both be released, and the release of one does not affect the validity of the other.
.SH PARAMETERS

\fB\fIminor_status\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 16n
.rt  
A mechanism-specific status code.

\fB\fIsrc_name\fR\fR

Internal name to be duplicated.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fIdest_name\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 16n
.rt  
The resultant copy of \fIsrc_name\fR.  Storage associated with this name must be freed by the application after use with a call to \fBgss_release_name\fR(3GSS).

.SH ERRORS
.sp
.LP
The \fBgss_duplicate_name()\fR function may return the following status codes:
.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fBGSS_S_COMPLETE\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 18n

.rt  
The \fIsrc_name\fR parameter was ill-formed.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fBGSS_S_FAILURE\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 18n
.rt  
The underlying mechanism detected an error for which no specific \fBGSS\fR status code is defined.  The mechanism-specific status code reported by means of the \fIminor_status\fR parameter details the error condition.
