GSS_RELEASE_BUFFER(3) Programmer's Manual GSS_RELEASE_BUFFER(3) NAME gss_release_buffer -- Discard a buffer SYNOPSIS #include <gssapi/gssapi.h> OM_uint32 gss_release_buffer(OM_uint32 *minor_status, gss_buffer_t buffer); DESCRIPTION Free storage associated with a buffer. The storage must have been allo- cated by a GSS-API routine. In addition to freeing the associated stor- age, the routine will zero the length field in the descriptor to which the buffer parameter refers, and implementations are encouraged to addi- tionally set the pointer field in the descriptor to NULL. Any buffer ob- ject returned by a GSS-API routine may be passed to gss_release_buffer() (even if there is no storage associated with the buffer). PARAMETERS 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, but its length field will be zeroed. RETURN VALUES GSS_S_COMPLETE Successful completion STANDARDS RFC 2743 Generic Security Service Application Program Interface Version 2, Update 1 RFC 2744 Generic Security Service API Version 2 : C-bindings HISTORY The gss_release_buffer function first appeared in FreeBSD 7.0.
