sec_pk_data_t  ∗data_p);

Parameters

Input/Output

Description

The sec_pk_data_free() routine frees and sets to NULL each nonnull pointer in a sec_pk_data_t.  Use this function, rather than sec_pk_data_zero_and_free(), for sec_pk_data_t structures that contain a public key pair and other nonsensitive data.
