gss_release_oid(Generic Security Services API Library Fungss_release_oid(3GSS)NAMEgss_release_oid - release an object identifier
SYNOPSIS
cc -flag ... file ...-lgss [library ...]
#include <gssapi/gssapi.h>
gss_release_oid(OM_uint32 *minor_status, const gss_OID *oid);
DESCRIPTION
The gss_release_oid() function deletes an OID. Such an OID might have
been created with gss_str_to_oid().
Since creating and deleting individual OIDs is discouraged, it is
preferable to use gss_release_oid_set() if it is necessary to deallo‐
cate a set of OIDs.
PARAMETERS
The parameter descriptions for gss_release_oid() are as follows:
minor_status A mechanism-specific status code.
oid The object identifier of the mechanism to be deleted.
ERRORSgss_release_oid() returns one of 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.

WARNINGS
This function is included for compatibility only with programs using

function, so portable programs should not rely on it. Sun might not
continue to support this function.
