# Method GSSAPI.Name()->__hash()

Method __hash

  ``int` hash_value( GSSAPI.Name arg )`

Description

  Tries to export the name (see export) and if that succeeds returns a hash made from the exported name string. Otherwise a normal hash based on this object is returned.

  This means that mechanism names (MNs) can be used as indices in mappings without getting duplicate entries for the same identity.
