NAME
gss_release_oid - release an object identifier
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lgss [ library... ]
#include <gssapi/gssapi.h>
gss_release_oid(OM_uint32 *minor_status, const gss_OID *oid);
DESCRIPTION
The gss_release_oid() function deletes an OID. Such an OID might have
been created with gss_str_to_oid().
Since creating and deleting individual OIDs is discouraged, it is
preferable to use gss_release_oid_set() if it is necessary to deallo-
cate a set of OIDs.
PARAMETERS
The parameter descriptions for gss_release_oid() are as follows:
minor_status A mechanism-specific status code.
oid The object identifier of the mechanism to be deleted.
ERRORS
gss_release_oid() returns one of 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.

WARNINGS
This function is included for compatibility only with programs using
earlier versions of the GSS-API and should not be used for new pro-
grams. Other implementations of the GSS-API might not support this
function, so portable programs should not rely on it. Sun might not
continue to support this function.
