GeneralNameInterface.constrains

Return type of constraint inputName places on this name:<ul> <li>NAME_DIFF_TYPE = -1: input name is different type from name (i.e. does not constrain). <li>NAME_MATCH = 0: input name matches name. <li>NAME_NARROWS = 1: input name narrows name (is lower in the naming subtree) <li>NAME_WIDENS = 2: input name widens name (is higher in the naming subtree) <li>NAME_SAME_TYPE = 3: input name does not match or narrow name, but is same type. </ul>. These results are used in checking NameConstraints during certification path verification.

@param inputName to be checked for being constrained @returns constraint type above @throws UnsupportedOperationException if name is same type, but comparison operations are not supported for this name type.
