gss_release_buffGeneric)Security Services API Library gss_release_buffer(3GSS)

NAME
       gss_release_buffer  -  free buffer storage allocated by a GSS-API func‐
       tion

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;  how‐
		       ever, 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 mecha‐
			 nism-specific status code reported by	means  of  the
			 minor_status parameter details the error condition.
