NAME

gss_release_buffer - free buffer storage allocated by a GSS-API function  

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; however, 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 mechanism-specific status code reported by means of the minor_status parameter details the error condition.
