rpc_binding_free — Releases binding handle resources;  used by client or server applications

Synopsis

void rpc_binding_free(
rpc_binding_handle_t ∗binding,
unsigned32 ∗status);

Parameters

Input/Output

bindingSpecifies the server binding handle to free. 

Output

statusReturns the status code from this routine.  This status code indicates whether the routine completed successfully or, if not, why not. 

Description

The rpc_binding_free() routine frees the memory used by a server binding handle and its referenced binding information.  Use this routine when your application is finished using a server binding handle that was dynamically created during program execution. 

If the free-binding operation succeeds, the binding parameter returns the value NULL. 

An application can dynamically create binding handles by calling any of the following routines:

   •rpc_binding_copy()

   •rpc_binding_from_string_binding()

   •rpc_ns_binding_import_next()

   •rpc_ns_binding_select()

   •rpc_server_inq_bindings()

Return Values

No value is returned. 

Errors

The following describes a partial list of errors that might be returned.  Refer to the OSF DCE Problem Determination Guide for complete descriptions of all error messages. 

rpc_s_ok
Success.

rpc_s_invalid_binding

rpc_s_wrong_kind_of_binding
