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.

bufferBuffer 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.
