NAME
gss_release_buffer - free buffer storage allocated by a GSS-API func-
tion
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lgss [ library... ]
#include <gssapi/gssapi.h>
OM_uint32 gss_release_buffer(OM_uint32 *minor_status, gss_buffer_tbuffer);
DESCRIPTION
The gss_release_buffer() function frees buffer storage allocated by a
GSS-API function. The gss_release_buffer() function also zeros the
length field in the descriptor to which the buffer parameter refers,
while the GSS-API function sets the pointer field in the descriptor to
NULL. Any buffer object returned by a GSS-API function may be passed to
gss_release_buffer(), even if no storage is associated with the buffer.
PARAMETERS
The parameter descriptions for gss_release_buffer() follow:
minor_status Mechanism-specific status code.
buffer The storage associated with the buffer will be deleted.
The gss_buffer_desc() object will not be freed; how-
ever, its length field will be zeroed.
ERRORS
The gss_release_buffer() function may return the following status
codes:
GSS_S_COMPLETE Successful completion
GSS_S_FAILURE The underlying mechanism detected an error for which
no specific GSS status code is defined. The mecha-
nism-specific status code reported by means of the
minor_status parameter details the error condition.
