+ *
+ * This function is similar to krb5_unparse_name(), but allows the use of an
+ * existing buffer for the result.  If size is not NULL, then *name must be
+ * either NULL or an existing buffer of at least size *size.  The buffer will
+ * be allocated or resized if necessary, with the new pointer stored into
+ * *name.  Whether or not the buffer is resized, the necessary space for the
+ * result, including null terminator, will be stored into *size.
+ *
+ * If size is NULL, this function behaves exactly as krb5_unparse_name().
