NAME¶
gss_release_buffer - API function
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <gss.h>
OM_uint32 gss_release_buffer(OM_uint32 * minor_status,
gss_buffer_t buffer);
ARGUMENTS¶
- OM_uint32 * minor_status
- (integer, modify) Mechanism specific status code.
- gss_buffer_t buffer
- (buffer, modify) The storage associated with the buffer
will be deleted. The gss_buffer_desc object will not be freed,
but its length field will be zeroed.
DESCRIPTION¶
Free storage associated with a buffer. The storage must have been allocated by a
GSS-API routine. In addition to freeing the associated storage, the routine
will zero the length field in the descriptor to which the buffer parameter
refers, and implementations are encouraged to additionally set the pointer
field in the descriptor to NULL. Any buffer object returned by a GSS-API
routine may be passed to gss_release_buffer (even if there is no storage
associated with the buffer).
RETURN VALUE¶
`GSS_S_COMPLETE`: Successful completion.
