gss_release_buffer(3)


NAME

  gss_release_buffer - Free storage associated with buffer.


SYNOPSIS

  #include <gssapi/gssapi.h>

  OM_uint32 gss_release_buffer(
	  OM_uint32 * minor_status,
	  gss_buffer_t buffer );


PARAMETERS

  minor_status
	  Kerberos 5 error code.

  buffer  Buffer to be released.  The buffer's length field is set to zero
	  and its value is set to NULL.


DESCRIPTION

  The gss_release_buffer() function frees storage associated with a buffer.
  The storage must have been allocated by a GSS-API function call. Use this
  function to prevent memory leaks.

  Passing in a NULL value does not cause the function to fail. If the
  function receives a non-NULL value (regardless of the buffer's length), it
  sets the buffer's length to zero and sets the buffer's value to NULL.


RETURN VALUES

  GSS_S_CALL_INACCESSIBLE_READ	  01xxxxxx
  GSS_S_CALL_INACCESSIBLE_WRITE	  02xxxxxx
  GSS_S_COMPLETE		  00000000
  GSS_S_FAILURE			  xx0Dxxxx
