NAME
csa_free - free memory allocated by the calendaring service
SYNOPSIS
#include <xcsa.h>
CSA_return_code csa_free(CSA_buffer memory);
DESCRIPTION
The csa_free function frees memory allocated by the calendaring service.
After the call, the pointer memory will be invalid and should not be
referenced again. When any CSA function allocates and returns a buffer to
the application, the application will free that memory with this call when
it is finished with the memory. When a CSA function returns a base pointer
to a complex structure containing several levels of pointers, all the
application will do to free the entire structure or array of structures is
call this routine with the base pointer returned by the CSA function. The
CSA functions that return structures of this form are csa_list_calendars3,
csa_look_up3, csa_query_configuration3, csa_list_calendar_attributes3,
csa_read_calendar_attributes3, csa_free_time_search3, csa_add_entry3,
csa_list_entries3, csa_list_entry_attributes3, csa_list_entry_sequence3,
csa_read_entry_attributes3, and csa_read_next_reminder3,
csa_update_entry_attributes3. The behavior of csa_free3 is undefined when
called with a pointer to a memory block not allocated by the calendaring
service, a pointer to a memory block that has already been freed, or a
pointer contained in a structure returned by the CSA implementation. In
some situations, the extensions specified for a function may be a
combination of input and output extensions. In this case, the memory
returned in the output extensions must be freed one at a time using
csa_free3.
ARGUMENTS
Memory (Buffer)
A pointer to memory allocated by the calendaring service. A value of NULL
will be ignored, but will return the return code CSA_SUCCESS.
RETURN VALUE
Whether the function succeeded or not, and, if not, why. It may be success
or one of the values listed under ERRORS below.
ERRORS
The csa_free function returns the following error values:
There was a general failure that does not fit the description of any other
error code.
A function parameter was invalid.
