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.
