- * FUNCTION: pkix_pl_X500Name_ToString_Helper
- * DESCRIPTION:
- *
- *  Helper function that creates a string representation of the X500Name
- *  pointed to by "name" and stores it at "pString".
- *
- * PARAMETERS
- *  "name"
- *      Address of X500Name whose string representation is desired.
- *      Must be non-NULL.
- *  "pString"
- *      Address where object pointer will be stored. Must be non-NULL.
- *  "plContext" - Platform-specific context pointer.
- * THREAD SAFETY:
- *  Thread Safe (see Thread Safety Definitions in Programmer's Guide)
- * RETURNS:
- *  Returns NULL if the function succeeds.
- *  Returns a X500Name Error if the function fails in a non-fatal way.
- *  Returns a Fatal Error if the function fails in an unrecoverable way.
